Corrections: Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was an American politician, lawyer, and author who served as the 37th president of the United States from 1969 to 1974. In this episode, I say Nixon was president in 1967 and started the War on Drugs, however, it was President Lyndon B. Johnson was president at that time and only laid the framework for the War on Drugs by signing into law LEAA which established the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 and was abolished in 1982. Its predecessor agency was the Office of Law Enforcement Assistance (1965–1968). Its successor agencies were the Office of Justice Assistance, Research, and Statistics. These offices laid the foundation for President Nixon to carry out his War on Poverty and Drugs.

Here is Where We Are Coming from:With this podcast, our hope is to provide the common person with what we were never given: a voice. In the United States, the criminal injustice system for far too long has functioned with the single purpose of using the felony conviction in combination with a contract of neo-indentured servitude as the method to re-institutionalize people of color. It is through these institutions of correction, which function as social-economic conversion factories- changing humans into commodities, we find inner-city men of color being transported, given numbers, and stored like cattle, in cells, behind walls in rural white communities. The true definition of human trafficking.Despite these systematic devices being used against us, by those who claim to represent law and order, we were able to use our time and not have time use us. It took fighting the system and refusing to be treated like an animal to eventually realize that the system is working exactly as it was designed. This understanding created our resolution to help those being sold into the system of corrections. The system truly does not care about crime, it only cares about bodies that can be converted to debt. However, the average person through mainstream Media is being conned to believe law enforcement for the most part serves the public's good. When the truth is it has always been about convicting the less fortunate by ostracizing them and victimizing anyone brave enough to help the innocent prove their innocence.Join Podchaser to...
