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.
Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how to achieve justice in America. On December 21st, host Patricia Bartholome speaks with Garrett S. Griffin. G.S. Griffin is a political writer, activist, and local author. He has written a book, Why America Needs Socialism: The Argument from Martin Luther King, Helen Keller, Albert Einstein, and Other Great Thinkers. We hope you will listen as Garrett speaks philosophically with Pat about political, social and economic systems. Generally speaking, socialists believe workers should own and manage their workplaces democratically and share the wealth workers create, rather than allow one owner or a board to monopolize decision-making power and award themselves much while offering workers little.
After the calendar, in the second half of our hour, host Craig Lubow speaks with Gregory Joseph. He is the Communications and Program Director for the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty (NCADP). The NCADP is the nation’s oldest organization dedicated exclusively to the abolition of the death penalty. It leads a national movement against the death penalty. Gregory Joseph and Craig will talk with a focus on the federal death penalty – including the pending execution date for Lisa Montgomery.
We hope you will listen.

Thanks to all our listeners, stay close to your dial and stay well! The coronavirus’s toll already exceeds the toll of all executions in the modern era of capital punishment. More prisoners have died of COVID-19 than have been executed for capital crimes since 1977. “Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
