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.
On November 23rd, we will hear from Bev Livingston, founder of Mothers of Incarcerated Sons and Daughters (MISD). A decade ago, Bev Livingston’s son was arrested and incarcerated. Through the process, she learned just how large and overwhelming the criminal justice system could be for the defendant, and also for their families. She formed MISD in 2009.
MISD is a 501(c)(3) advocacy and support organization that helps you become your own best advocate if you, or someone you know, is affected by incarceration. MISD has monthly meetings to provide support. They can be reached by email at [email protected].
Please tune in to hear Bev tell us about the 2020 MISD Virtual Showcase of Art which will launch during the holidays. MISD will showcase the creation of artwork by a unique group of artists who have created the art while in prison. This art exhibit will provide an opportunity for artists and the community to share and experience the amazing talent of the incarcerated.
After the calendar, in the second half of our hour, we will hear host Pat Bartholome’s talk with Ngozi Ndulue about the death penalty. Ms. Ndulue joined the staff of the Death Penalty Information Center in 2018 as Director of Research and Special Projects in September 2018.
The Death Penalty Information Center is a national non-profit organization serving the media and the public with analysis and information on issues concerning capital punishment. The Center releases an annual report on the death penalty, highlighting significant developments and featuring the latest statistics.
