New on NJTV - Fugitive Safe Surrender

"Fugitive Safe Surrender"
on
airs: Sunday January 26 at 9:30 am and 7 pm
and Tuesday January 28 at 11:30pm  
One of more than a dozen makeshift courtrooms in the Jersey City Armory, processing nearly 5,000 low-level fugitives






  
This Week on Due Process 


You may not have committed a major crime, maybe not a crime at all. It could be a ticket unpaid, a child support payment unmade, but it's enough to trigger a warrant for arrest - and that puts you on the wrong side of the law.

Tens of thousands in New Jersey can't get a license or a job, because warrants show up on a background check. They are always looking over their shoulders, knowing any contact with police could see them arrested or jailed.

But five times in recent years, the state has created a rare opportunity to clear a record and put a life back on track. It's called Fugitive Safe Surrender and when it came to Jersey City, Due Process was there for an inside look at a unique opportunity for thousands to come out of the shadows.

Back in the studio, we go deeper with Rev. William Howard of Bethany Baptist Church in Newark, with Lori Scott-Pickens of the Rutgers School of Criminal Justice, and with Assistant Attorney General Wanda Moore.

We hope you'll join us!

New on NJTV - "Supreme Court Update 2014"

"Supreme Court Update 2014"
on
airs: Sunday January 19 at 9:30 am and 7 pm
and Tuesday January 21 at 11:30pm 
Affirmative Action - Back on the Docket





This Week on Due Process 

This year's U.S. Supreme Court session is in full swing, with cases ranging from the constitutionality of prayer at public meetings to a test of presidential powers.

And while this high court docket may be drawing fewer headlines than last year's dramatic decisions on same sex marriage, we're keeping our eye on new cases involving abortion clinic protests, affirmative action in higher education and the coverage of contraception under Obamacare.

On this edition of Due Process: our annual Supreme Court update with national ACLU Legal Director Steve Shapiro.

We hope you'll join us!
