MESSAGE FROM A CORRECTIONAL FACILITY RESIDENT; HOST CRAIG LUBOW SPEAKS WITH ML SMITH, FOUNDER OF MISSOURI JUSTICE COALITION

Jaws of Justice Radio investigates how we can achieve justice from a system of laws deeply rooted in economic, social and political inequality.  We want to dispel misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system. We hope you will listen. Jaws of Justice will broadcast another conversation from Chris Gilyard, a resident of Missouri Crossroads Correctional Facility, who will share his opinion about life, mistakes and corrections. Crossroads Correctional Center is located in Cameron, Missouri.  Chris reached out to Jaws of Justice.  He was interviewed using the telephone. In the second half of our hour, host Craig Lubow will speak with ML Smith, Founder of Missouri Justice Coalition. https://mojustice.org/ MoJustice is dedicated to serving as a unifying force across the state of Missouri, bringing together individuals impacted by the criminal punishment system. Their mission is to educate, empower, and unite community members, transforming them into a powerful advocacy base. Through collaborative efforts, MoJustice strives to drive meaningful reforms within the Missouri prison system, addressing the systemic injustices, inhumane conditions, and absence of accountability. They firmly believe that collective amplification and collective action are essential in building a statewide base of effective and sustained prison advocacy. MoJustice envisions a Missouri where the criminal punishment system is characterized by fairness, accountability, compassion, and rehabilitation. Their vision is a future where everyone, regardless of their background, is treated with dignity and humanity within the prison system. Through collective action, they foster a society where rehabilitation and restorative justice are at the forefront, ultimately creating a safer, more inclusive, and equitable Missouri for all its residents. On Jaws of Justice, we examine how to find justice in our society.  Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.
