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.
Host Bev Livingston Speaks with Jennifer Heinemann, Director of Stewardship and Planned Giving at Operation Breakthrough, which for 50 years has provided a safe, loving and educational environment for children in poverty and empowering their families through advocacy, emergency aid and education.

Operation Breakthrough clearly understands the unifying power of art. So, Mothers of Incarcerated Sons & Daughters have shared artwork done by incarcerated artists with Operation Breakthrough. What better way to learn and teach art as a positive method of expression? What will come out of this collaboration? Tune in to hear.
We’ll play our calendar at the midpoint of our hour. Next, host Keith Brown El will discuss the new Missouri law that will make it easier for persons to be released after proof of wrongful incarceration. This is the case of Lamar Johnson, Kevin Strickland and Ken Middleton. His guests will be Cliff Middleton, son of Ken Middleton, and Latahra Smith, founder of KC Freedom Project.
On Jaws of Justice, we investigate how to achieve justice in America.
We hope you will listen.
