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.
The Other Collateral Consequences; Subconscious Effects of Incarceration
The impact of the criminal justice system on employment, housing and voting is well known. But what about the other collateral consequences? The ones that implant themselves in our subconscious and continue to shape how we view persons in the system and how they view themselves for decades after the court-imposed sentence ends.
