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 Janay Reliford-Davis, Founder of Camp CHOICE, Inc, the mission of which is to provide youth life enrichment experiences to benefit spiritual, educational & social well being. Along with life coaching for youth ages 12-24, Camp CHOICE provides “Game of Life” Weekend Adventures.

They will discuss students’ present school status, and note that many are behind a couple years from grade levels. This strengthens the pipelines to prisons. They will also discuss the MO state Bully law making elementary youth felons and more.
Janay Reliford-Davis is a Kansas City native and graduated from Westport High School as a Kauffman Foundation “Project Choice” scholarship recipient. She attained a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Central Missouri State University in 1999 and her Master’s Degree in Social Work Administration from the University of Kansas in 2004. In 2006, Mrs. Reliford-Davis founded Camp CHOICE, Inc.
Mrs. Reliford-Davis also serves as a Resource Connector with the Chestnut Ave. Resource Center, Board Member of Sankofa for Kansas City, Advocate for Mothers of Incarcerated Sons and Daughters (MISD) and is a long-time partner with King Elementary School providing student mentorship and parent education.
Next, host Terri Wilke speaks with Latahra Smith of KC Freedom Project about their recent Wrongful Conviction Day Rally. We stay committed to the idea that discussion about our wrongfully incarcerated can only help improve the system. No doubt we should prevent and stop crime. No doubt persons accused of crimes have rights to fair and speedy trial. No doubt, a fair review of the evidence might change the outcome for some incarcerated person.
