  • Marques Bradham: Full Circle League
    First, Happy TWO YEAR Pod-a-versary! Gin & Justice has been highlighting stories of those impacted the criminal justice system for two years this week.  Let's celebrate!

    This week on Gin & Justice, the girls talk with Marques Bradham about what it was like growing up with a father in prison.  Marques gets deep with the family trauma caused by addiction, incarceration, and the feelings of abandonment.  Despite all of this, Marques brought it full circle and created his non-profit, called none other than, Full Circle League!  Full Circle League is a re-entry, transitional, holistic program that consists of three, three-month programs to help those who are incarcerated and their families with the transition process and includes trauma healing.

  • Exonerations: February 2023

    It's the last Legal Brief of the month, so you know what that means!
     Justine and Amanda tell you about all the people added to The National Exoneration Registry.
    "
    The National Registry of Exonerations is a project of the Newkirk Center for Science & Society at University of California Irvine, the University of Michigan Law School and Michigan State University College of Law. It was founded in 2012 in conjunction with the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University School of Law. The Registry provides detailed information about every known exoneration in the United States since 1989—cases in which a person was wrongly convicted of a crime and later cleared of all the charges based on new evidence of innocence. The Registry also maintains a more limited database of known exonerations prior to 1989."

  • Mark Caruso: Culture of Corruption in FLDOC

    On this week's episode of Gin & Justice, Justine and Amanda finally got someone with a law enforcement background to talk with them! They chat with Mark Caruso, a former New York City Police Officer who also had a lengthy career as a Sergeant  in the Department of Corrections, where he exposed corruption, and was retaliated against for it. That didn't stop him though, Mark's a fighter and wasn't going to let the bad apples get away with it.
