Community organizer Raj Jayadev wants to transform the US court system through “participatory defense” — a growing movement that empowers families and community members to impact their loved ones’ court cases. He shares the remarkable results of their work — including more than 4,000 years of “time saved” from incarceration — and shows how this new model could shift the landscape of power in the courts.

Se il mondo al contrario mi inviasse l immagine di una persona senza alcuna paura non ci sarebbero queste cose e potremmo risolvere eroicamente queste condizionali che sono troppo forti e troppo potenti onestamente.
Defying the idea that only lawyers could influence the trial, the power of community organizations revealed future prospects and gave opportunities. It has changed my mind about the way justice is served in this country.
we need you in Lawrence, ks because when we speak out we get a gag order
The criminal justice system is a billion dollars failure. It's only looking at the punishment and forgot all about the rehabilitation concept.
In California it cost around 60000 dollars annually to keep just a single inmate incarcerated. It's cheaper to put inmates at the Ritz Carlton. But after one is released from custody in most cases the only money spent on them is to the probation department.
The department of corrections is a billion dollars failure
That moment erasing their name, damn. That hits. What a great idea for expanding principles of community organizing and mutual aid to the traditionally inaccessible legal world.
Why do us black folks make criminal justice reform a number one priority? If we are already given longer and harsher sentences and it has not
deterred us from filling up the prisons, would making our sentences lighter not make the problem worst?

Thank you for doing such important work. Praying that your efforts are blessed.
Right right
4000 years saved?! Holy crap! Amazing work they're doing! Power to the people ya'll!
If only everyone could be a cop, work in a jail, or maybe if they were a victim they might understand…you probably request a ride-a-long though.
🦋everyone is so keen to judge others but it’s so important to remember “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”
This guy is a victim of the new fad sweeping this nation's universities., "Post Modernism" with this new weapon of the left, everyone can be a victim. At 1:43 he says , "Racial bias baked into every stage of the process" (The justice system) Lets put criminals in jail and keep good people out and when we see a provable instance of racism, call it out. But to say the system is the reason for incarceration instead of crime is bullshit!! Lets judge a man by his character please and leave color out of it.
Raj Jayadev has nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to say to people who have been the VICTIMS of crime. His language drips compassion, but make no mistake, his scheming head has a very dark agenda. This is not a "working class" agenda, this is a "criminal class" advocate.
BULLSHIT
Second chance sure is working? Just had a murder, they are letting violent offenders out that they said t they wouldn't. With recidivism rates running at 83% what are law abiding citizens supposed to do?
Can white people join this program as well?🤔
I have a better idea: lets just castrate all boys of age eleven. No testosterone; no aggression; no prison time. And women get a pool of trusted "male" friends.
How about community powered 'learning to follow the laws' reform lol.
I have been waiting for an initiative such as this to empower families facing unjust Courts. I would love to see this program come to Bakersfield. If anyone knows anything about Kern County, then they know that the court systems here is one of the most twisted in California. Mostly because we were not educated in our rights growing up and not making use of the resources we have around us to fight for our livelihoods against the immoral businesses disguising themselves as County Courthouses. I fought for my husband last year, (even when he had given up and was ready to take a plea),against the DAs unjustified false charges backed by a corrupt judge and a "Pro Bono" county appointed Attorney who reeked of conflict of interest. Because of felony and prison priors, my husband was being exploited like many other individuals with priors in this country. I ultimately lost my job for calling out from going to all his court dates, and was threatened with a restraining order from OUR lawyer when I brought up the phrases "Letter Rogatory", "Color of Law" and "Sovereign Entity". I did my homework and empowered my husband to Reject their contract offers, starting at 35 years to Life. In the end, the judge closed the doors, to myself included, and off the record hashed out a deal with my husband and our attorney for 3 years. I was furious with them still trying to have my husband pay for their wasting everyones time with baseless charges, but I trusted my husband had his reasons for signing. I am more than ready to be an instrument helping others gain peace of mind and confidence knowing that without their permission, nothing can be taken from them.
Solution = Don't be a criminal. Obey the Law.
Mankind still doesn't fully understand what in our DNA gives us our behaviour patterns. To say 1 in 3 African Americans will see the inside of a jail should spells it out! It's in their genes. It's a reality in this world of evolution.
Yet another TED Talk about how Blacks are relentless victims of relentless White racism. See Colin Flaherty for the truth. When do we get to hear the White folks side? How about a TED Talk with Jared Taylor?
He is promoting 7 Noahide laws.
States across the world are doing the same thing. The modern justice system has tilted in the favour of rich and powerful ones. This is also true in India, where more than 3.2 million cases are pending in courts and rich criminals are out in the society on bails, while poors are serving their(rich ones ) sentence. On the one hand we criticise Hitler, Stalin for the perpetration of mass murder using state power, on the other hand we justify our unjust social and judicial system which are doing the same thing.
Start with the (fundamental right) to drive as an us citizen.
outstanding. Thanks
let the world burn
My totally uninformed brother, no doubt you will take this wrong but your efforts should be oriented back into the communities where the crimes are occurring and directed at people that will stand fast after witnessing a shooting of another and say they saw nothing. Your efforts are misdirected and need to be at one of several cores of why the justice system is broken. You would fair better at targeting these communities and offering support for the would be witnesses to the crimes to come forward and demand that proper justice is laid at the feet of the guilty. This would accomplish more on a community basis than an attempt to institute justice reform on that low of a level. The only level for justice reform to be changed is in the House of Representatives of the State's involved. And truly at the ballot boxes. But choose the vote very carefully and beware of false street prophets that say they want your vote so that they can effect this change. Make sure, microscopically vet the candidate carefully and decide for yourselves not because someone with a recognizable name said this is the person to vote for. You might be very surprised at whom you may end up voting for, if this is done. Then, keep pressure on that elected person to reform the broken system. Just a thought to keep in mind while doing your research. Ask yourself some questions about what my next sentence says. In my state, the criminal statute addressing the crime of murder is either 2 or 3 very short paragraphs, and the statute regarding D.U.I. Is some 28+ full pages in length. Yes……the system is broken, but a call to action is never going to have much impact on the solutions of the problem.
OR…. teach everyone how to follow the laws and keep their noses clean. How to understand what to vote for. How to think and talk in a lawyer like method

Every person is prison claims to be innocent. Here in Australia the judges are so weak you're lucky to get a jail sentence short of terrorism. We had a drug dealer recently get off free, went back to dealing and was caught on camera bragging about it, got arrested again and still got off. In Australia we should be locking up our judges for being too easy on the criminals
