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.
Jailing The Mentally Ill Is Crazy
The mentally ill are a problem neither the police, the courts or prison administrations have been able to deal with effectively. Mainly that is because they need treatment and understanding rather than judgement and punishment. We have seen videos of police shooting the disturbed person with a weapon all too often. What we don’t see as much is the treatment the mentally ill receive in court or the frustration and cruelty they face once convicted and sent to the penitentiary.
Host Craig Lubow talks with Psychologist Robert Barnett about how the mentally should be defended in court and what should be done if they are sent to prison.
