This Week on Due Process - Ban the Box

"Ban the Box"

Any Arrest Can Put a Job Out of Reach

  

  

 

  

 

This Week on Due Process 

on

 

 

You apply for a job, fill out an application and get to the critical question: "Have you ever been arrested or convicted of a crime." Most of us can simply say "no" and move on. But one in four Americans have to check that box. And, chances are, that's the end of that job.

It's a harsh reality that's triggered a movement to "ban the box" and erase that first barrier to employment. The fledgling bill is titled "The Opportunity to Compete Act." Reentry advocates say it's critical to slowing the revolving door of recidivism.

The opening field piece features bill sponsors Sen. Sandra Cunningham and Assemblywoman Bonnie Watson Coleman, corporate leader Al Koeppe and two ex-offenders, who say their prison past blocks their way to a job.

In the studio with both sides of the issue: Cornell Brooks of the NJ Institute for Social Justice, Integrity House Founder Dave Kerr and Eric Degesero of the NJ Fuel Merchants and the NJ Independent Electrical Contractors.

See it all - and see what you think - this Sunday or Tuesday on NJTV.  Or catch this and all our programs, on demand, on our website, the NJTV website or on YouTube.

We hope you'll join us!

This Week on Due Process - McGreevey Redux

Jim McGreevey with Ray Brown and Sandy King

He says he's proof that there can be second chances, that even a disgraced governor can find a new, more authentic life - marked by faith and service.

 

On this edition of Due Process, a candid conversation with Jim McGreevey, no longer a politician - now a candidate for the Episcopal priesthood and a counselor to women in jail, now at peace with his own sexuality 

 

A new HBO documentary, "Fall to Grace," gives a glimpse of that new life.  But our talk with the former governor goes several steps further, probing the disconnect between McGreevey then and McGreevey now, not just in his personal life, but in his commitment to social justice.

 

It's a substantive interview we know you'll want to see.

Please join us!

"Reading the Emancipation Proclamation" Charles Henry Granger 1864

 

 

 

 

This Week on Due Process

on

 

 

 

150 years ago, he signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Two years later, he would see the Emancipation Proclamation through. But how did Abraham Lincoln really feel about African-Americans and slavery? Was the Lincoln who first ran for President, the same Lincoln who was killed in office? And how did an apparent racist become the Great Emancipator?

 

On this edition of Due Process, we turn to two nationally-recognized experts for answers: Rutgers Distinguished History Professor Clement Price, Director of the University's Institute on Ethnicity, Culture and the Modern Experience, and Columbia University Historian Eric Foner, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "The Fiery Trial, Lincoln and Slavery."

 

In a wide-ranging conversation with Sandra King and Raymond Brown, Professors Price and Foner explore Lincoln's racism, his pragmatism and his unique ability for growth.

 

We hope you'll join us on Sunday at 9:30am or 7:00pm, or Tuesday night at 11:30.

This Week on Due Process - After Newtown

This Week on Due Process

"After Newtown"

airs: Sunday February 10 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday February 12 at 11:30 pm

on 

 

Gun rights ... gun regulation. Always hot button issues, but never more than right now. The President's fighting for new gun controls ... The Governor's named a task force ... And there's hardly a day that it's not front page news.

Gun control forces see their best chance yet for new ways of combatting gun violence. Gun advocates, too, are seizing the day, decrying incursion on their right to bear arms. Passionate voices raised on both sides, galvanized by an unthinkable massacre - and the focus of this week's Due Process.

Our post-Newtown mini doc traces the issue from the White House to the State House. The debate then moves into the studio, where we're joined by Ceasefire New Jersey's Nicola Bocour, Gun Rights Lawyer Frank Pisano and Assemblyman Joseph Cryan (D-Union).

A major national debate, with a New Jersey angle, on the next edition of Due Process.

Please join us on NJTV this Sunday at 9:30am or 7pm, or Tuesday night at 11:30.

Peace,

This Week on Due Process - The DC Sniper: 10 Years Later

Lee Boyd Malvo Just After His Arrest 10 Years Ago

                                    

This Week on Due Process

"The DC Sniper: 10 Years Later"

airs: Sunday December 16 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday December 18 at 11:30 pm

on 

 

 

A hate-filled Gulf War vet and his 17 year old protégé. They terrorized the Washington Beltway for three bloody weeks, killing 10 strangers, seemingly at random, irrespective of age or race or gender.

The younger of the DC snipers is now a 27 year old lifer - a prisoner, held in solitary, with no chance of parole - his mentor executed; their victims now 10 years dead.

But, a decade later, the questions remain of how and why.

On this week's edition of Due Process, some answers in Lee Boyd Malvo's own recorded words - and in a startling new book by a forensic social worker who was part of his defense, and a clinical psychologist, who has studied the case. Their claim: that an abandoned and abused Malvo - brainwashed by the manipulative John Muhammad - was himself a psychological, physical and sexual victim.

We revisit the chilling story of the DC snipers with Carmeta Albarus and Dr. Jonathan Mack.

We hope you'll join us.

This Week on Due Process: Let's Make a Deal: The Plea Bargain

A Plea Bargain Entered in Essex County Superior Court         This Week on Due Process "Let's Make a Deal: The Plea Bargain"   airs: Sunday December 9 at 9:30 am and 7 pm and Tuesday December 11 at 11:30 pm on       You're charged with a crime and have the right to face your accusers at trial, to be judged by a jury of your peers. Then why do fewer than 3% of defendants ever get that far?   On this edition of Due Process, we explore the phenomenon of the plea deal, beginning with a look inside Judge Martin Cronin's Essex County courtroom, where, two days a week, one guilty plea after another is entered in return for a reduced sentence. Is it fear? Is it coercion? Why do so few choose to take their chance at trial? And could some of them be innocent?   In the opening field piece, we listen in on a plea bargain conference between the Morris County Prosecutor, Bob Bianchi and his staff, while, in Essex, we watch the plea process unfold and talk to Assignment Judge Patricia Costello.   In the studio, we get starkly opposing views on plea deals from former First Assistant Attorney General for New Jersey John Vazquez and the ACLU's Alex Shalom.   Please join us!   Sandy and Raymond   Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.   Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J.
