Texas rapper and community activist Trae tha Truth has scored a huge human rights victory in Harris County.
The Houston Chronicle reports that early last month, Trae reached an agreement with Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez to allow prisoners in the county to attend the funerals of loved ones via Zoom video call. This has never happened in the city of Houston, the rapper wrote in a news release posted to Instagram. Often when someone dies in an inmate s family, they are not able to go to the funeral. According to the release, over 20 inmates have been able to attend funerals via Zoom calls since the deal was reached.
