Actor Denzel Washington has said the youth need role models at home so that they do not end up in prison.
The 62-year-old Oscar winner, who plays an idealistic defence attorney in his next "Roman J. Israel, Esq.", was asked if the film made him feel more cynical about the justice system.
"It starts at home. It starts with how you raise your children. If a young man doesn't have a father figure, he'll go find a father figure," Denzel said, according NY Daily News.
"So you know I can't blame the system. It's unfortunate that we make such easy work for them," he added.
Directed by Dan Gilroy, "Roman J. Israel, Esq." also features Colin Farrell and Carmen Ejogo.
