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.
Host Latahra Smith Carnes of KC Freedom Project first talks with Directors of the support group called What About Us. This is a support group for wives and significant others of exonerees. Coming home from prison after decades of wrongful incarceration is not easy and the complex trauma that exonerees have endured doesn’t end with release. There are many challenges when adjusting to life outside prison, including financial stress, difficulty finding housing and employment and social stigma. What About Us meets to provide support to life partners of exonerees.
Then Latarha will speak with Obie Anthony, Founder and Executive Director of Exonerated Nation. They will speak on the subject of therapy and explain what Exonerated Nation has to offer about therapeutic services for exonerees.
California incarcerated Obie Anthony 17 years for a murder he did not commit. After his exoneration in 2011, Obie had to learn how to build a new life outside of prison. He struggled with employment, PTSD and reestablishing relationships with his family. In 2015 he founded Exonerated Nation to help make sure other exonerees didn’t have to face these challenges alone. Exonerated Nation is non-profit based in Oakland that serves California exonerees. Intend to expand services to reach exonerees across the nation.
