   Slam the Gavel welcomes Cristal Salazar to the podcast. Cristal has been fighting a battle against the Texas Child Protective System that has wrongfully torn her family apart. Cristal herself had been a foster child from the ages 1 years to 5 years.    Her children were removed from her care after a series of illegal and unethical actions by CPS investigators. Despite no imminent danger, NO TRIAL and NO PROPER INVESTIGATION, Judge Jack M. Graham, Associate Judge, ordered Cristal's then 12 year-old son, based on false allegations, to be sent to a juvenile detention center, ten hours away from where she lived, when there was a center in close proximity to her. Cristal's 8 year-old daughter went into foster care.    Throughout this ordeal, the system has blocked Cristal at every turn, failing to provide clear allegations or even follow their own investigation rules. In June of 2024, the Office of Consumer Affairs in charge of DFPS issued its SECOND APOLOGY to Cristal, admitting their failures in handling her case. Cristal was also assigned a new judge, Judge James Anderson, County Court at Law 1.    Cristal came on the podcast today to share her story and expose the systemic failures that SO MANY FAMILIES face in the fight to KEEP THEIR CHILDREN SAFE.To Reach Cristal Salazar:  dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.com******** Supportshow(https://www.buymeacoffee.com/maryannpetri)Maryann Petri: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comhttps://www.tiktok.com/@maryannpetriFacebook:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/guitarpeace/Pinterest: Slam The Gavel Podcast/@guitarpeaceLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maryann-petri-62a46b1ab/  YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@slamthegavelpodcasthostmar5536  Twitter https://x.com/PetriMaryann*DISCLAIMER* The use of this information is at the viewer/user's own risk.

In the U.S., many kids in trouble with the law are sentenced to juvenile detention facilities. In New Hampshire, the largest such facility is a place commonly known as the Youth Detention Center, or YDC (recently renamed the Sununu Youth Services Center). YDC was founded with good intentions: keep kids out of adult jails and prisons and care for them. But now, nearly 1,300 former residents of YDC have come forward, filing lawsuits over alleged abuse at the facility. The allegations include hundreds of cases of assault and rape that span over six decades. It's become one of the biggest youth detention scandals in American history.New Hampshire Public Radio's Jason Moon and his colleagues on the Document team spent the last year investigating the Youth Development Center. They combed through the cases, worked around legal roadblocks, and spoke with residents and staff who'd never before told their stories.This week on The Sunday Story, host Ayesha Roscoe and Moon discuss what may have happened inside YDC and how the allegations stayed under wraps for so long.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Song: The Change Music by: Mary L. Cohen ​Notes: “My dad played the copper fish mold.” — aren't you curious now? Listen in as Mary Cohen and I explore family music, personal structures for improvisation, creating connections between incarcerated and not-incarcerated people, and more… We wander a bit through grief and disconnection and finding what is, in a conversation that's real and messy and touches on fear and joy, building a caring community for ourselves, our neighbors, the global world… living with regret and streaming grace to the person we were when we made a mistake; restoring connection. It's a glimpse of the rich variety of resources Mary draws on as she shapes her life… I hope to add some into mine. Songwriter Info: Mary L. Cohen, Associate Professor of Music Education at the University of Iowa, is lead author of Music-Making in U.S. Prisons: Listening to Incarcerated Voices (2022).

Song: May My Tears Water a Sapling Music by: Mary L. Cohen ​Notes: Mary Cohen's huge heart and willingness to do big work in the world shines through in this song, with lyrics sparked by the 2020 midwestern derecho with devastated so many trees. When we talk in next week's songwriter conversation, the depth of Mary's passion for how singing can support and feed change is evident. I hope you can join us as we explore the US prison-industrial complex and music, the role of mentorship, and how self-care can adapt. In this episode, I invite you to experiment a bit, finding musical touchstones as a way into harmonizing. In the links, you'll find several different arrangement/performances you can listen to for other harmonizing ideas, if that's up your alley. Songwriter Info: Mary L.

After Oklahoma voters decisively passed State Question 802 in 2020, mandating expansion of Oklahoma's Medicaid coverage to low-income citizens similar to the Affordable Care Act, Governor Kevin Stitt has worked to privatize the joint federal and state run healthcare program. As SoonerCare transitions to SoonerSelect, on April 1, 2024, the program will be operated by three private companies; Aetna Better Health of Oklahoma, Humana Healthy Horizons, and Oklahoma Complete Health. As of March 10th, the Oklahoma Health Care Authority, or OCHA, began auto-assigning members who had not selected their new plans. Shonda Little speaks with Jared Deck, State Representative for House District 44 in Norman and JeKia Harrison, President of the Young Democrats of Oklahoma, and a lifelong resident of northeast Oklahoma City to learn more about this transition and the concerns held by some about this change.In a groundbreaking achievement Traci Manuel, who both attended and taught at Booker T. Washington High School in Tulsa, has etched her name into Oklahoma history books, becoming the first African American educator to claim the prestigious title of Teacher of the Year. Anthony Cherry speaks with her and Milton Dean III. Dean has been in education for 16 years with Tulsa Public Schools. He currently serves at Street School, a nonprofit, alternative, therapeutic based school. Before that he spent four years at the Juvenile Detention Center, also known as the Tulsa County Family Center for Juvenile Justice to share more about Manuel's remarkable journey, from her teaching career to her statewide advocacy for a more inclusive and effective education system. Rebecca Marks Jimerson, the Commemorative Chair and Special Projects Chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration Society, has a decade-long commitment to honoring Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy. Recently in Tulsa Jimerson produced a powerful partnership with the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, Circle Cinema, the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office, and the National Association of Black Journalists which shed light on the intertwined histories of Black people and Jewish people through a documentary entitled Shared Legacies: The African American-Jewish Civil Rights Alliance, directed by Jewish filmmaker, Dr. Shari Rogers of Detroit. Through her film she provides verbal accounts of how Dr. King and the Civil Rights Movement were able to move forward with some of this momentum helped by support of allies of the interfaith community even coming together with Dr. King in the marches for equality. This included footage of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and other rabbis who were seen close to the front of several marches with Dr. King. This collaboration serves as a call to contemporary social justice movements to unite and continue Dr. King's vision of equality. Francia Allen attended the screening and speaks with Jimerson, Brae Riley, a board member and Chair of the Social Justice Sub-Committee of the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, and Ryan Thomas, the lead film programmer at Circle Cinema to expand on this powerful cooperation.

This story is part of a series exploring the relationship between the Black American community and the Jewish community in Tulsa.

It was an absolute pleasure to have this open conversation with Anthony about where his journey started as a young boy full of sadness, frustration resentment and despair and the miraculous transformation he has made as a young man.  He had to learn some really tough lessons but to his credit, he feels that he had to go through everything that  he did to become the person that he is today. Sometimes life has an unexpected way of teaching us lessons and the life of Anthony McDuffie Jr, perhaps took him on a more  circuitous and difficult route to finding his true self.At a young age, he experienced the loss of a loved one and was subject to inner city crime and violence.  He went looking for support in the wrong places and eventually got mixed up in crime which led to incarceration. Yet what followed, through studying, hard work and spirituality, was redemption, resilience and forgiveness.  After 15 years behind bars, he was released a new man.While in prison, I know there were tough years for Anthony, wondering "why me" or all the "what -ifs" or "wrong place, wrong time," scenarios OR maybe "I should have listened to my mother" conversations he had with himself.Today Anthony has written two books, "Grit, Grind & Glory" and "My Life In Poetry."  He's written about lessons learned, finding a mentor, igniting the seed of change as well as how to encourage and inspire youth to succeed.  He's a motivational speaker and certified  mental health First Aider.  HIs transformative journey includes graduating form "Give a Beat's"-"On A New Track"             Re-entry Mentoring Program in 2021, where he became a performing artist.Shottie, Anthony's mom, wrote to her son regularly while he was incarcerated. While incarcerated, Anthony desperately longed to see his mother, hold his mother and talk to his mother.  Where do you think  he went directly upon release?Thank you  again Anthony. There are many unfortunate kids out there that now will benefit from your experience and your example. WEBSITE: https://www.gritgrindandglory.com/INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/gritgrind_glory/FACEBOOK: ANTHONY MARSHAWN McDUFFIE JR:https://www.facebook.com/Bomani05  "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers and the roles they play in our lives.

Our conversation with Amanda de Cadenet is deeply nourishing and a swim upstream against the status quo. Amanda and Drew touch on many different topics in this rich, hour-long conversation. As you'll discover, Amanda's work touches many areas of life and so many lives. After becoming sober from alcohol and drugs at twenty, ten years later, Amanda did the Hoffman Process. Today, ten years later again, Amanda says her Process work has been an integral part of her recovery journey. It can be hard to put tangible results to recovery work, yet Amanda's Hoffman work has helped give her the tangibility she was looking for. Amanda's work at the Process allowed her to own that she has beautiful, big feelings. As she shares, big feelings are often frowned upon by the culture. But in the Process, we learn that our feelings are an absolutely vital part of living our humanity. As the host of many conversations over decades, Amanda creates a safe space where challenging the status quo is possible. Listeners can feel their own feelings in response. These conversations are ripple-like in nature making them conversations that are changing our world. Amanda says she learned to really talk to people when she was in Juvie (the English Juvenile Justice system) at fifteen.

As she explains, “I thrive on minimal direction, spontaneity, and mistakes. Free-form wirework in jewelry-making demands impromptu solutions in order to harmonize each next move with the last. My work is a ‘live happening' of endless bloopers, masterfully redirected with each movement of untamed wire that is never backtracked, never undone and never given a second chance to correct itself. My continual artistic challenge is to integrate failures and make them beautiful in the finished piece.” Bringing this artistic sensibility to her relationships with juvenile offenders, she does not dwell on their past mistakes, but encourages them to integrate what they have learned into new and better possibilities for their futures.   Additional information about Gerry Florida's work as an artist and advocate for at-risk youth can be found on her website, https://floridarecycled.com

When we are at work, we all have a number of roles — we can take on other jobs, wear many hats. Albert Watson is a Detention Officer at the Dane County Juvenile Detention Center, where he also hosts a cooking club. Here, he tells the story of the day he saved a life by taking a bit of his own advice. He shared it at a storytelling event and on the podcast, Inside Stories. WPR’s Brad Kolberg produced this story.

Juvenile detention centers were established a hundred years ago to provide rehabilitation for minors who had committed crimes, providing support and services to help them navigate the world upon reentry. Unfortunately, many centers mirror the punitive practices of adult prisons. Reports of shackling, solitary confinement, and the denial of services and education were reported from the Acadiana Detention Center in St. Martinville, Louisiana. We speak with Beth Schwartzapfel at The Marshall Project about her joint investigation with ProPublica and NBC News into The St. Martinville Detention Center.

When a group of four boys escaped from the St. Louis Juvenile Detention Center on Saturday, it was the fourth incident of teens breaking out in the last five months. KMOX wanted to know what's being done to address the issue.

Bryann Trejo is a Pastor, Christian rap artist and founder of Kingdom Muzic Ministries. Through his hardship Bryann T releases music centered around the gospel of Jesus and letting people know forgiveness is possible. From an early age Bryann Trejo was involved in the street-lifestyle, and as a result of this he spent his teenage years in a Juvenile Detention Center for armed robberies and the selling of narcotics. By his twenties his life was a revolving door in and out of jail and prison. In his early twenties his life took a turn for the worse where he was facing 30 years in prison for two attempted murders in retaliation to an attack on his twin brother from a rival street drug syndicate. By the grace of God the charges were lowered to two aggravated assaults and he pled down to 7 years in prison where he served 4 years and got out on probation. In May of 2013, his brother Ryann also known as “Woo-Woo” was innocently murdered. Those involved falsely assumed “Woo-Woo” played a part in the unfortunate death of a teenager that occurred the week before. When in actuality, the only part “Woo-Woo” played was attempting to mentor the teenager. Through Woo-Woo’s death it gave birth to Kingdom Muzic Ministries. A ministry centered on the gospel of Jesus Christ which is a message of freedom, forgiveness of sin and the power to forgive your enemies. Bryann says, “When my brother was killed, Jesus wrote a new song in my heart which taught me to learn to forgive my enemies.” Connect with #BryannTrejo: https://kingdommuzic.org Partner With Us: https://vohradio.com Connect with #VOHRadio: https://instagram.com/vohradio https://twitter.com/_vohradio https://gab.com/vohradio To learn more about Michael Petro visit https://michaelpetro.com/ Support the show: https://vohradio.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jules Muck began writing graffiti as a teen in Europe and England in the 90s. Back in NYC she worked under Lady Pink for many years. Muck bombed with Spek and Since and was painting highways and rooftops with BTC throughout the late nineties. Her first interview in 1999 was by Zephyr for While You Were Sleeping magazine. Smith took Muck into the NYC subway tunnels and the freight yards. Muck was christened into graffiti by some great early legends. She has been published in numerous books including Broken Windows, Burning New York, Ganz’s Graffiti Women and Cey Adams' The Art and Design of Hip Hop. Muck has had work in numerous collaborative projects such as the Wooster Collective, 11 Spring Street, and Hanksy’s Surplus Candy. She was one of the first females to paint at 106th and Park Hall of Fame in NYC and did an installation with the Guerrilla Girls for the lobby of the Bronx Museum of Art. She has painted murals for TV shows and movies including Under the Dome, Mr. Mercedes and IT. Muck has produced several large-scale murals in Wynwood for Miami’s Art Basel. She travels and paints often in New York, New Orleans, Texas and anywhere else she can. The landscape of Venice Beach remains the most Mucked place in the world, as her Venice home and studio is her favorite place to be. “Muckrock” is the IG handle she chose as an ode to graffiti’s hip hop roots but it has come to represent her obsession with all things music. She has painted over 5 memorial murals for Motorhead’s Lemmy, including one at the Rainbow Bar and Grill and a 40 ft Mt. Lemmy at Dave Grohl’s recording studio in LA. Pixie’s Video Classic Masher features a stop-motion Muck mouth, Engelbert Humperdinck’s house in Bel air has been Mucked, and her work is collected by Everlast and Ministry’s Al Jourgensen. Humanitarian efforts have included painting murals in Syrian Refugee camps, Miami’s Juvenile Detention Center and several large scale Bernie Sanders pieces. Muck’s real passion is to paint on things she’s not supposed to paint on but those opportunities are rapidly decreasing as she is ever invited to paint on more and more walls and things. She enjoys painting humping bunnies on RVs and dressing up any manner of vehicle. julesmuck.com You're living your dream. Don't miss it.

Douglas County Commissioner James Cavanaugh says he will vote no today on a measure that would ask the Omaha Douglas Building Commission to vote to issue $120 million in bonds to build a youth detention center and additional space for juvenile courts adjacent to the county courthouse. Cavanaugh says going this route will lead to a property tax increase without a vote of the public.

“Addiction takes over everything… it’s this brain disease that affects individuals and changes their whole view of life and their whole view of relationships.” ~ Katherine Ketcham The Only Life I Could Save is Katherine Ketcham’s seventeenth book; she has co-authored sixteen others, ten of which are on the subject of addiction and recovery. For years she worked with kids in a Juvenile Detention Center, but when addiction lands in her own family, nothing she learned from the kids in “juvie” seemed to help. From the flyleaf: “This book is a raw and moving memoir of heartbreak, healing and profound transformation; … of what Katherine deems the most important lessons of faith, hope, acceptance, and forgiveness.” This podcast introduces you to a very brave woman, a brave family, and a son who continues to lead and inspire them all.

St. Louis County Juvenile Detention CenterCheryl Campbell, DirectorKellie Landaker, Assistant Director www.stlcountycourts.com(314)615-4400 Hear about what it’s like inside the St. Louis County Juvenile Detention Center. The Detention Center provides for the safe and secure custody of juveniles alleged to have committed an offense that brings them within the jurisdiction of the Court. These juveniles are detained only if it is believed that they present a threat to themselves or the community. They remain in detention until the Court hears their case or until appropriate alternative arrangements can be made. The Detention Center provides for the basic needs of its residents: shelter, food, clothing and medical care. But just as importantly, the Center’s staff provides a wide range of support services intended to help promote the juvenile’s physical, social and emotional development. These services include drug and alcohol counseling, arts and crafts, mental health screening and counseling, self-help programs, educational and vocational services, fitness sessions, voluntary religious services, recreational programs and many other activities. The Department of Health of St. Louis County provides a registered nurse, a nurse practitioner and visiting physician. The Center’s medical program is accredited through the National Commission on Correctional Health. The Episcopal City Mission provides Chaplains for the Center who, with volunteer staff, offer counseling, grief groups, enrichment programs and voluntary religious services to residents. The Court’s Family and Clinical Services Department has a staff member housed in detention five days a week and contracts for services on evenings and weekends to provide coverage seven days a week and late evening hours five days a week.

Hope lives in here, in this episode. For me, when I recorded The Idea Fountain Episode 7: Justice with Mike de la Rocha, I didn't have much hope. Years ago I had visited Sylmar's Juvenile Detention Center with Mike and it made me feel sick. I was overwhelmed by the atmosphere, the enormity of challenges, or how it was even possible to have a building the size of a high school filled with juveniles with life sentences. When nationally babies were being taken from their parents at the boarder I didn't have much confidence that a tweet, phone call, or showing up at a march would change that. I wanted to do something I just didn't know WHAT. Mike de la Rocha is an extremely talented artist and also an organizer who works at Revolve Impact. He joined us, along with Tia Oso from Revolve Impact, and walked through how to make a difference locally via education, using your voice, and building community. It gave me a whole new level of much needed hope. My wish is it does the same for you. Come into my living room for a fireside chat with friends and lets figure out how to make a difference.

Over its 70- year history, the school was a "unique educational utopia" and an incubator for black intellect that taught values and life skills for black children, according to the film.   The school, The Tuskegee of The North, bloodlines go back to Booker T.

A small percentage of the 400 acre campus is being used to house the detainees while the majority of the campus is left to rot.
