Category: Taser Use Submitted by: : webadmin  Taser Facts     How tasers work. They are most effective from 12 to 18 feet. Tasers use compressed nitrogen to shoot two electrically charged probes at a subject. When the probes connect with a target, they release about 50,000 volts of electric pulses for up to five seconds, which stun by causing the muscles to contract uncontrollably.

Category: Informational Submitted by: : webadmin  How is the Criminal Justice system racist?     Although many feel that the United States has overcome its racist history, the legacies of colonialism, slavery and racism still affect our policies and practices today. Of the nearly 2.1 million adult men and women imprisoned in the United States, roughly 70% are persons of color. Within the criminal justice system, people of color are imprisoned disproportionately due to racist laws, are denied access to the rehabilitative options given to Whites, and are harassed and mistreated by U.S. agencies. Although people of color commit most crimes at the same rate as Whites, the unequal targeting and treatment of people of color throughout the criminal justice system – from arrest to sentencing – results in the disproportionate imprisonment of people of color.

Category: Informational Submitted by: : webadmin  HOW THE SYSTEM ITSELF IS VIOLENT     Fear, terror, violence and the threat of violence are essential components of the U.S. Criminal Justice System. Overpoliced and incarcerated peoples face the threat of arrest, shouting, physical violence, or murder committed by the system and officers of the system as a daily reality. Not only are racist, sexist, and other discriminatory practices embedded in the system, they are often perpetuated through violence. Violence within the system covers an extremely wide range of areas, from obvious instances such as the beating of Rodney King by LAPD officers in 1991 or the shooting of Amadou Diallo in 1999, to less obvious instances such as violations of personal dignity, threats and daily assaults, including the sexual abuse of prisoners. Much of this is a result of the system’s increasingly exclusionary emphasis on punishment.
