I get up in the morning I get dressed and hit the streets. This is New York. They're all sorts of ways to make money. Legally Canning, He's a roof over my head. This is five cents. This is five cents and that's what we're trying to change now on the bottle bill. Some States is 10 cents. it doubles doubles everything. everything. Usually every day I have like maybe about four to five of these hanging on this card, one place or another and people. Oh wow. Look at you you loaded today. It's it's it's every day. My name is Chicago Crosby and I'm a Cannon. I've been doing this since 2012. I was a compliance coordinator and the fashion industry wholesale apparel. My mother got sick. I had to choose between taking care of my mother and then my career I ultimately chose chose my mom Bank accounts got frozen because he was ill. my life changed and I had to think of another way to survive. Rather than jumping off of a building or ending up in the East River, I decided that I've got a daughter. I'm not gonna do this. I'm not gonna even think that way let me find some other way to live as suppose it saved me. I am I've seen people doing this and it just seemed like the best option a little embarrassing at first but morning. But everyone knows me now 10 States, including New York currently have bottle bills, which require refundable five cent deposits on various cans and bottles. They are meant as a financial incentive to encourage recycling as cities with bottle bills, recycle about 36 percent more of their bottles and cans than those without. Each of work five sets everything. this is five cents. This is five cents and this is 56 and even a small water bottles of five sets. and that's what we're trying to change now or extend on the bottle bill is to get that change on some States is 10 cents at our legislation that would increase the refundable deposit to 10 cents nationwide is expected to be introduced in early 2020, but bottle bills have faced opposition in the past from the beverage industry over cost concerns I. Comfortable in this neighborhood, I don't feel anything bad that happened to me when I'm walking down the Street because I I know so many people and that's only from doing this. Canning has done my people from like maybe four years old as I've seen them on up to 80 - 590 years old. I see kids out on the Street So we had a two weekend. When people says always Adventure Center, I always said no, it's much more. It's just a community of people who usually felt excluded in many ways and having a very hard time not access to jobs, not access to housing and many many other exclusions. they find here a place where they belong. I get up in the morning I get dressed and hit the streets. Lots of College kids in this building, so they do a lot of drinking. I can't resist open dates. It makes me wanna go inside and take a look. So how much do you think you make a year doing this eight 9000, maybe 10 Well that keeps a roof over my head, you know and food in my stomach. I also tutor anywhere from three years old to College level. This is New York. They're all sorts of ways to make money. Legally. You You know know what what he's he's got got this this block block covered covered so so what what we're we're gonna gonna do do is is we're we're gonna gonna bypass bypass him. him. Okay. Okay. It's getting a little more friendlier. It's a week stage information. I would not go in an area where they've just left. Amigo Hey, How are you today? Good good? How are you good good? I just can't believe that no one 's been down the Street that it's so Okay. Sorry, Sorry Okay. If I had a choice between the life I had before and this one I would have to choose this one over the self-contained life I had before not as much substance as the life that I'm leading now have so I don't think I would trade that. Morning, It's over like 40, something people that hold this for me, I've been getting them from them for like years now. Thank you. My dear Okay. Okay. So good seeing you some cancer bottles such as milk products, blind and liquors are not accepted at redemption centers so in January 2019, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo proposed expanding the criteria, but there has been city opposition based on concerns that it would raise New York City's recycling processors rates and include less desirable containers easiest part. Is going out there and getting all this stuff the hard part about it is once you get to where you're going with it all the separation and the sorting and and put putting it away final stretch. So how much you just make 20 - 6080 -, five said when the day is over and I'm feeling good pocket full of money, I go home a shower. I eat and have my margarita and I always drink with a smile on my face because I know once I'm having a margarita, there's nothing else to be done for that day. Nothing is a certainty. I didn't do anything wrong, but my life changed to this. I'm doing something beneficial. You know on a global level if you you really really look look at at it so you know you. it Feel embarrassed or afraid for me. I would say a bond between the inmate and the horse is one of the most important things that they learn. When they actually start to bond with that horse, they will become better trainers. They will become better people. I think that's good that they feel that much pride in their horses. It's good to have pride in something, especially in prison. They go right up behind his ears a little bit with with that rope. now, we're not giving up my jump. doing pretty good. My name is Hank Curry. I'm the head horse trainer here at the Northern Nevada Correctional Center. I've been here 15 years now and I'm in charge of about 20 to 20 - five inmates. We're taking a completely wild horse and trying to domesticate them. get them where they're gentle usable horse the inmates put in applications to come to work out here, according to their behavior in prison, we review all of that. Decide whether or not they could possibly become horse trainers. To start out with we take a totally wild horse and I have my guys actually put them in around Coral. We don't allow them to rope them or anything else they have to actually make contact with their hands Most of the inmates that may be ridden a horse once or twice in their life. so it takes a lot of guts and it takes a lot of determination. This guy right here, I didn't want nothing to do with me and now he's you know my little buddy and he follows me everywhere I go. It's just a moment where you bond, you know and you become you know like best friends. This guy only did it within the last few weeks. It's pretty amazing. I mean I'm not doing time until I go back to camp, you know. and that's when the clock starts for me as far as realizing where I'm at when I'm out here, I'm free. In the last few years, we've developed a lot of horses that have been used by the fish and game wardens. the forestry service the Sheriff's Department actually has a matter group and those were horses trained by this program. I think that you know this job is kinda inspirational. It's not like regular prison where everybody's running around being foul mouth. You know, being a tough guy and everything else doesn't work out here. Horses Horses Don't don't care care. who. How big or how to feel they will equalize the plain field. If you wanna play tag, I see a great deal of change in all these guys. they seem to mature. They're functioning. they know how to work. you know how to hold a job. so often it's it's changed their lives.
