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.
Millions For Prisoner’s Human Rights March On Washington
As the prison population in the United States has grown well beyond that of any other nation the issue of how those prisoners are treated is coming to the forefront. America is starting to wake up to the fact that the ideals of of restoration and rehabilitation have been replaced by overcrowding, isolation, and deprivation within our prison system. The rise of for profit prisons has raised concerns about political corruption and highlighted the exception clause in the 13th Amendment to the US Constitution that designates prisoners as slaves of the state. The Millions For Prisoner’s Human Rights March On Washington and many of the concerns being raised are coming from the prisoners themselves, in particular the nationwide Jail House Lawyers organization.
Millions For Prisoners Human Rights Core demands for Action:
A) We DEMAND the 13th amendment ENSLAVEMENT CLAUSE of the United States Constitution be amended to abolish LEGALIZED slavery in America.
B) We DEMAND a Congressional hearing on the 13th Amendment ENSLAVEMENT CLAUSE being recognized as in violation of international law, the general principles of human rights and its direct links to:
Private entities exploiting prison labor
Companies overcharging prisoners for goods and services
Private entities contracted by states/federal government to build and operate prisons. This would also include immigration detentions
Racial disparities in America’s prison population and sentencing
Policing: the disproportionate (unaccountable) killings by police in the black and brown communities
Felony Disenfranchisement laws
Immigration and Customs Enforcement 34,000 detention quotas
Producing the world largest prison population
