Credit the draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws which mandate minimum sentences of 15 years to life for first-time offenders. LOCKDOWN, USA follows the reform efforts of an unlikely coalition: outraged mothers, the hip-hop community under the leadership of Russell Simmons and former NAACP head Dr. Benjamin Chavis, Andrew Cuomo, and comedian turned political activist Randy Credico. Interwoven with their fight, is the moving struggle of Wanda Best, whole husband Darryl, was sentenced to a 15 year term under the Rockefeller laws. The DVD is loaded with over 40 minutes of bonus material, including an exclusive music video by hip-hop superstar Jim Jones.
