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.
For our show on July 5th, first, Jaws of Justice’s host Terri Wilke speaks with Jake Butler, Corrections Case Manager at Jefferson City Correctional Center, a Missouri Department of Corrections employee employed with the Puppies4Parole program, and two inmates involved with the program, Taylor Marquez and Jason Barr.
They will tell us about Puppies4 Parole, a program operated by Missouri Department of Corrections in partnership with animal advocacy groups and animal shelters statewide in Missouri. The program benefits dogs in that unadoptable dogs in state animal shelters are provided training so that homes are easier to locate. The program benefits inmates in that they are provided training to develop dog training skills, they are engaged and they benefit from the companionship of dogs. The program benefits the community in that more good dogs are available as pets and dogs are trained to provide special services for persons with disability disorders such as PTSD, diabetes and hearing loss. Happiness is a warm puppy!

We’ll play our calendar at the midpoint of the hour. Next, Terri Wilke speaks with Jenny Donaldson-Hite, a mother whose son, Chad Donaldson, was shot and killed near Christmas, December, 2014 while he was walking home from a nearby convenience shop. At this point, that is all that is known, and authorities consider Chad Donaldson’s murder as a cold case. A case becomes “Cold” when all probative investigative leads available to the primary investigators are exhausted and the case remains open and unsolved after a period of three years.
Cold Cases can be reviewed to determine if newer technologies or forensic testing may produce any new potential leads. If any viable leads are discovered through receipt of new information from Crime Stoppers tips or tips called in by the public or other police agencies, they will be matched to the appropriate case and assigned for follow-up investigation.
