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.
The Prison Poets of Lansing and Ricky Kidd’s Poetry Too
Tuesday, February 21st, the Johnson County Library and the Writer’ Place sponsored the Thomas Zvi Wilson Reading Series with a poetry reading by prisoners in the poetry group led by Arlin Buyert. There were three former prisoners and four prisoners that came from the Lansing Correctional Facility to read. They each read poetry from prisoners that could not attend and their own poetry as well. The Poetry group at Lancing is one part of the Arts In Prison project at Lansing Correctional Facility.
In this broadcast we will be playing all of the poetry that was read, to be followed by some of the poetry of Ricky Kidd who is a wrongfully convicted citizen fighting for his freedom from the Missouri Department of Corrections.
