Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
Violence Behind Bars and On The Block
On this edition of Jaws of Justice Radio we talk with formerly incarcerated citizens about violence behind bars and the mindset one develops to survive. We will also talk about what happens when someone with that prison survival mindset returns to society. Is there a difference between the violence perpetrated by guards and the violence we see from our local police? What goes through the mind of the formerly incarcerated when they are stopped by the police?
Host Jeff Humfeld is joined by JoJR’s own Keith Brown El and Al Bey to talk about the difference between what they experienced on the cell block and their experiences in their own neighborhood. Then we open the phone lines for your calls.
