Fri, 5 May 2006 Interview with Reverend Ashiya Odeye, chair of the Jail Reform Coalition and executive committee member for the Sacramento NAACP. The Jail Reform Coalition has been instrumental in exposing the brutal abuse of inmates at the Sacramento County Jail, and advocates for reform across the criminal justice system. What is the state of our local jails? How has the Sacramento County Jail earned the nickname "the local Abu Ghraib"? How would a citizen's oversight work? Reverend Odeye addresses these questions and gives a community organizer's viewpoint on the recently released videotapes of inmate abuse at the Sacramento County Jail, local incidents of police brutality, and the upcoming Sheriff's race.
