The Black Guerrilla Family (BGF) is a notorious and ideologically driven prison gang founded in 1966 by George Lester Jackson at San Quentin State Prison in California. Jackson, a revolutionary Marxist and Black nationalist, created the BGF to protect Black inmates, resist the oppressive prison system, and contribute to the broader struggle for Black liberation. The gang's core objectives include eradicating racism, overthrowing the U.S. government, and supporting global liberation movements.Initially rooted in revolutionary ideology, the BGF is structured like a military organization, with a strict hierarchy and a strong emphasis on loyalty, discipline, and secrecy. The group uses symbols like the crossed saber and shotgun, often accompanied by a black dragon, to communicate its identity and commitment to armed struggle.Over time, the BGF expanded beyond California, establishing a significant presence in other states, particularly Maryland. While the BGF initially focused on political goals, it gradually shifted towards criminal activities, including drug trafficking, extortion, and murder, to fund its operations.The BGF's operations in Maryland were exposed in a 2013 federal investigation, which revealed extensive corruption and the gang's control over the Baltimore City Detention Center. Despite law enforcement crackdowns and internal conflicts, the BGF remains active within the U.S. prison system, though its original ideological focus has diminished.The legacy of the BGF is complex, reflecting the broader struggles of African Americans within the U.S. criminal justice system and the challenges faced by revolutionary movements in maintaining their integrity. While the BGF's influence may have waned, its impact on the U.S. prison system and its role as a symbol of resistance endure.(commercial at 8:16)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Jack Kammer leads Male-Friendly Media and has two podcasts "Men Are Talking" and "Good Will Toward Men," He is not an anti-feminist, he's a counter feminist and has been working with men's side of the “gender issue” for a long time, from being a Correctional Officer at Baltimore City Detention Center to working on the National Fatherhood Initiative's InsideOut Dad program for incarcerated fathers, and authoring two books. He stops by to share with the Clutching Our Pearls audience how feminism limits men. In this roller coaster of an episode, the co-hosts and guest argue, agree, and aggravate each other.

What's the difference between a counter-feminist and an anti-feminist? An anti-feminist says “No.” A counter-feminist says, “Yes, and men and boys also have social problems based on their sex and need help too.”With all of the scrutiny on systemic problems in police departments, we're ignoring a deeper source of social dysfunction. If Law Enforcement is too white, Social Work is too pink. Social Work is dominated by women and is rife with antimale bias. The men it mistreats become everyone's problem. It's time to talk about systemic sexism in Social Services. The men and boys Social Work ignores and mistreats are left to fend for themselves. They conclude they must survive on their own "by any means necessary."After getting my Masters in Social Work in 2008, I did a year as a Correctional Officer (AKA Jail Guard) in the infamous Baltimore City Detention Center. Followed that with a year as a Parole & Probation Agent in central Baltimore. Then went to work for National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) as a trainer for various state corrections systems to teach prison staff how to run NFI's "InsideOut Dad" program for incarcerated fathers.Started a social work consultancy called Working Well With Men whose mission was to provide "tools and training for the Social Work profession to help men give and get all the love they can."Produced and hosted a radio show called “In a Man's Shoes” on a public station near Baltimore from 1983 to 1989. Was executive director of the National Congress for Men, whose motto was “preserving the promise of fatherhood.”In 1985 and 1986 I worked with the late, former 7th District Congressman and Black Caucus Chair Elijah Cummings when he was a Maryland state delegate in the effort he sponsored to have Maryland establish a task for force on men to study the connection between male social issues and problems of crime, violence, educational underachievement, unpaid child support and others.In 1994 St. Martin's Press published my book Good Will Toward Men: Women Talk Candidly About the Balance of Power Between the Sexes, a collection of interviews I conducted with twenty-two women, most of whom identified as feminist, all of whom were ready, willing, able and even eager to talk not just about women's disadvantages as women, but also their advantages, and not just about men's advantages as men, but also their disadvantages.In perhaps one of the earliest examples of what has come to be known as Cancel Culture, several St. Martin's staff members expressed displeasure with the book's challenge of orthodox feminism and all sales and promotion efforts for the book ceased. Good Will Toward Men went nowhere, except to bookstores' remainder bins. After that disappointment, I expressed my unhappy emotions with a wry and pithy book called If Men Have All the Power How Come Women Make the Rules. I published that one myself because my agent couldn't find an established publisher to take it on. Ironically, that book has proven to be my most popular and successful.

If you heard the last episode of the podcast, you’ll remember we spent some time on the block where the release door of the Baltimore Jail lets out onto the street. We met some guys who’d been locked up in the jail multiple times, we talked a lot about the jail, but we didn’t talk with anyone who actually works in there. Well, that’s what this episode is about: Conversations about work and life with the warden, two correctional officers, and the commissioner of pretrial detention and services at the Baltimore City Detention Center.

The Maryland prison system has had a long run of corruption, with dozens of correctional officers and others accused of helping incarcerated gang members continue their criminal enterprises behind the walls. From the Baltimore City Detention Center in 2013 to the Eastern Correctional Institution in 2016 and the prison in Jessup last year, investigations of those facilities have resulted in dozens of indictments, convictions and prison sentences. The scandal involving the Black Guerilla Family at the BCDC was so bad that it led in part to the shuttering of the old jail in 2015. In the Jessup case, a state corrections sergeant is accused of doubling as an officer in the Crips gang.Federal authorities have led most of these investigations. On today's show, Robert Harding, an assistant U.S. Attorney who supervises the Baltimore office's criminal division, talks about how the feds first learned about the widespread corruption in state prisons. It was the activities of a violent, made-in-Maryland gang, Dead Man Inc., that led investigators to the problems at BCDC and at ECI.Links:https://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/federal-indictments-charge-80-defendants-alleged-racketeering-conspiracy-maryland-shttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-sun-investigates-corrections-indictment-20170915-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-prison-gang-indictments-20171130-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-tavon-white-returns-20160309-story.htmlhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-city/bs-md-hogan-city-jail-20150730-story.htmlhttps://www.justice.gov/usao-md/case-matter-divisionshttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-roark-dmi-sentencing-20130107-story.htmlhttps://www.justice.gov/usao-md/pr/federal-indictments-charge-80-defendants-alleged-racketeering-conspiracy-maryland-s

Half of people behind bars suffer from addiction, an illness that may be the cause of their legal troubles. We look at two efforts to connect those in jail -- or on their way out -- to treatment.In Washington County, nonviolent offenders can transition from jail to home detention, and receive addiction treatment in the form of a monthly shot. We speak to Rebecca Hogamier, director of the Washington County Sheriff's Office's Day Reporting Center.And outside the Baltimore City Detention Center, a mobile clinic awaits the newly released. We speak to Deborah Agus, director of the nonprofit Behavioral Health Leadership Institute, and peer advocate William ----JR---- Jones.

Kelly Cross, a Baltimore community activist, has a crazy idea about preserving the old Maryland Penitentiary and possibly turning it a destination — with a museum, art gallery, shops and restaurants. It sounds farfetched, but some architects and philanthropists already have taken a look at the place. They see potential. Plus, Baltimore Heritage is on the case, calling for the state of Maryland to revise demolition plans and consider saving the 19th Century penitentiary and another building in the prison complex to the east of the Jones Falls Expressway — the Tudor Gothic warden’s house on Madison Street. Preservation is one motivation but, for Cross and others, the closing of the penitentiary’s west wing and the dilapidated Baltimore City Detention Center present an opportunity to reduce the concentration of prisons and jails in a high-profile part of the city and better connect East Baltimore to the city’s core.Links:https://strobophotostudio.pixieset.com/kellycross-baltimoresfuturegrowthanddevelopment/http://www.baltimorefishbowl.com/stories/prominent-architects-museum-cultural-center-baltimore-jail/https://baltimoreheritage.org/preservation/baltimore-jail-demolition-threatens-landmark-ties-citys-history-slavery/https://baltimoreheritage.org/preservation/baltimore-jail-demolition-threatens-landmark-ties-citys-history-slavery/http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/politics/bs-md-ci-jail-20170127-story.htmlhttps://i1.wp.com/baltimoreheritage.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/baltimore-jail-demolition-map-2016-03.jpg
