Mohamedou Slahi, imprisoned at Guantanamo for 13 years - without charges

  

This Week on Due Process  

The NY Times has called him "collateral damage in the war on terror."   Taken from his home in Mauritania after 9/11, Mohamedou Slahi has been held in the island prison camp for 13 years - tortured and never charged.

His lawyers say there was never evidence connecting him to terrorism; five years ago a federal judge agreed and cleared him for release. Nonetheless, he remains isolated and imprisoned along with 115 other detainees, nearly half of whom have also been cleared.

On this edition of Due Process: Guantanamo, torture, Mohamedou Slahi - who has somehow managed to write and publish a book from inside - and the international literary and arts community which has rallied around him.

In the studio: Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU's National Security Project and a member of Slahi's legal team, and Seton Hall Law Prof. Mark Denbeaux, who has been to Guantanamo 75 times, representing other inmates whom he says should also be freed.

It's a don't miss edition of Due Process.  We hope you'll join us!

This Week on Due Process 

Sandy and I have been inside jails and prisons countless times - I as a criminal defense lawyer; she as a legal journalist. And every time we walk out those steel doors, we're flooded with relief that we're not the ones locked up.

But imagine you're in lock down, not just imprisoned, but confined to a space not much bigger than your bathroom for 23 hours a day.

Is it cruel and unusual?  Is it torture?  Who ends up in isolation and why?  And what is the mental and emotional impact?  With legislation to reform solitary confinement now pending in New Jersey, those are just some of the questions we'll look at in this important edition of "Due Process."

In the opening mini-doc, Sandy and Producer Tania Bentley bring us face to face with men who've been held in New Jersey's solitary units - from months to decades - and with corrections officials who insist that solitary in New Jersey no longer exists.

In the studio: Rev. Seth Kaper-Dale of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture; former New York City Corrections Commissioner Martin Horn, and Senior Officer Lance Lopez, president of the state corrections union.

Please join us on Thirteen or NJTV.  It's a "Due Process" you don't want to miss!

Obamacare and same-sex marriage.  If you thought that Supreme Court decisions had closed the book on both, you'd be wrong.

Despite critical rulings upholding both the Affordable Care Act and marriage equality, they're back before the High Court this term in cases that could decide if 7 million people lose their health care, and whether gay marriage becomes legal in all 50 states.

The how, the why, the what to expect: they're the focus of this week's edition of Due Process.  It's our annual SCOTUS Update with Supreme Court Insider Steve Shapiro, National Legal Director of the ACLU.

So please join us this weekend on Thirteen or NJTV.  It's a Due Process you won't want to miss!

Clement Alexander Price 1945-2014

 

  

This Week on Due Process  

A voice of reason, an inspirational teacher, the people's historian, Newark's quiet activist.

With his death in November, came enormous loss for Clem Price's city, his state, his university. He was Newark's official historian, Rutgers University-Newark's distinguished professor, New Jersey's public intellectual and a nationally recognized figure in the arts, the academy, the humanities.

He was also a great friend and adviser to Due Process, so on this week's edition, we remember Clem Price with the help of two friends and colleagues: RU-Newark Chancellor Nancy Cantor and Vice Chancellor Marcia Brown.

Please join us for this tribute to an extraordinary public figure and exemplary private man.

This Week on Due Process  

From the Supreme Court to the court of public opinion ... The State House to the White House ... 2014 saw significant change. So, on this edition of Due Process, we look back on some stories we did last year - stories that took a decisive turn before this new year even began.

The growing acceptance of legalized marijuana and same-sex marriage, the legislative gains of bail reform and "ban the box" - just a few of the justice issues on our docket for this look back at the last year in justice ... and forward to what's to come.

We hope you'll join us!

A Jewish refugee family aboard the SS St. Louis, Miami Harbor, 1939

  

This Week on Due Process 

Why, in 1939, was a shipload of German Jews not granted refuge? Why were they turned away by this country?  Why was the SS St. Louis forced back to Europe, where nearly a third of its passengers would be killed in the Holocaust?

It's an episode that cuts to critical questions of American law and justice.

On this edition of "Due Process," a look back at that "Voyage of the Damned," with a St. Louis survivor, Eva Wiener, and the leaders of the St. Louis Legacy Project.

In their documentary, "Complicit: The Untold Story of Why the Roosevelt Administration Denied Safe Haven to Jewish Refugees," Psychologist Ruth Ann Kalish and Lawyer Robert Krakow charge FDR with placing politics above compassion.

Join us and decide for yourself!
