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. Host Terri Wilke speaks with Chris Gilyard, a resident of Missouri's Crossroads Correctional Facility.  He shares his thoughts about life before prison and life in prison.  Chris has been incarcerated for thirty years and he freely admits he was guilty of the charged crimes and even that he believes he should have been placed in prison at the time. However, what I hear when speaking with Chris Gilyard is a person with interests in life but who is severely limited by the circumstances of the prison routine.  Pity we cannot provide services to determine which residents, at any time of their sentence, might be successfully reformed.  Pity we warehouse people like animals behind bars for decades.  Thankfully, Chris Gilyard has the number for Jaws of Justice and we can allow him to touch an outside world that he knows little about. In the second part of our hour, Terri Wilke will speak with Ann Suellentrop and Henry Stoever, members of Peaceworks KC. They will talk about the April 24-27. 2026 - THIS UPCOMING WEEKEND! - Midwest Catholic Worker Retreat & Resistance, with some persons doing civil resistance early Monday morning, April 27, when workers at the Kansas City National Security Campus arrive for their 6 AM and 7 AM shifts. https://peaceworkskc.org/register-for-retreat-resistance-vs-nuclear-weapon-making-in-kc/ This event welcomes everyone who wants to show resistance to nuclear warfare at the very site where the Kansas City National Security Campus, operated by Honeywell, proposes to build parts for nuclear bombs. Ann and Henry will also talk about the upcoming federal hearing May 7th, 2026 in Kansas City MO about the environmental dangers of having the United States make plutonium pits, the activating core of nuclear weapons. 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. https://kkfi.org/listen/

PeaceWorks is a long-time Kansas City peace organization affiliated with the national group, Peace Action. Join us to hear about upcoming events and current issues pertaining to Kansas City's nuclear bomb parts plant and other related social justice issues.

Peaceworks KC board member Jane Stoever got on the phone for the May 22, 2014 edition of Tell Somebody  to talk about the 2014 Trifecta Resista events coordinated by a Kansas City-based coalition of organizations advocating for the release of Chelsea Manning, the end of nuclear weapons proliferation and a halt to illegal drone wars. Much of the rest of the show was given over to a rebroadcast of part of a conversation I recorded with independent journalist and policy advisor Paul Street shortly before Barack Obama’s first inauguration as president of the United States.  Street had recently published Barack Obama and the Future of American Politics, and especially now in hindsight Street’s observations are so ‘spot on’ that I thought this interview was worth another hearing before having Street on again for the May 29, 2014 show.
