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 14th, host Keith Brown El speaks with Michael Silas, an inmate at Western Missouri Correctional Center. Michael Silas has now served over 30 years on a life without possibility of parole sentence. Michael contends he was falsely charged as the shooter in the homicide case that resulted in his incarceration. We hope you will listen as Michael Silas speaks to Keith Brown El about his experience.
After the calendar, in the second half of our hour, host Melvin Merritt speaks with Christine McDonald, founder of Christine’s Vision. Christine is an internationally recognized author, speaker and consultant known for her unique ability to construct conversations and ignite change for under-served and marginalized populations. She experienced two decades of homelessness, addiction, human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation, 103 arrests and 7 prison stints. She has found her way out by using her lived experience as a tool to break stigmas and construct conversations for change.

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.”
