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.
United Transportation Services – Connecting Families With Their Incarcerated Loved Ones
No one goes to prison alone, their family is affected in a variety of ways and staying connected with ones family while incarcerated is one of the most important factors in reducing recidivism.
Many poor families cannot afford to make the trip to visit their incarcerated loved ones and public transportation is often expensive and doesn’t go where they need it to. Prison administrations often make it difficult to visit and prisoners are transferred to facilities far from their families for institutional reasons.
On today’s show host Melvin Merritt talks with Audra McCloud of Family United Transportation Services. They provides transportation for visits to incarcerated loved ones in both Kansas and Missouri. If you want to find out more about their services you can contact them by phone – 816-533-5622 or email – [email protected] Check out their services on their website – www.familyunitedtransportation.com
