Omar Johnson aka Omara Ashanti a prisoner currently serving a de-facto life sentence at the Illinois Department of Correction (IL DOC), located in Springfield, IL, calls into the Grill Pit to talk prison politics. He speaks on the unprofessionalism of the staff within the IDOC and the obstacles he faces daily with just having his grievances heard. Ashanti is opportunistic believing Rob Jeffreys who serves as Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections, and is a nationally recognized criminal justice expert with correctional experience spanning more than two decades, is the progress advocated needed for change. However, after reading Jeffreys' bio on the IDOC site, I believe he is only a face being used to control the machine.
On GP, SAF Moe and Ron B react to the recent investigative report by the Minnesota Department of Human Rights (MDHR). This investigation was announced after the murder of George Floyd in May 2020. Dexaminid whether the city and the police department were using racially discriminatory practices and policies. I could have done this without wasting taxpayers’ dollars.
"Following the murder of George Floyd, demands to end discriminatory policing practices reverberated across the world," Minnesota Department of Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero said when announcing the report's findings. "Those demands remain just as urgent today with the announcement of the investigative findings which paints an unsettling picture of the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Police Department engaging in a pattern of racial discrimination over the last decade.
