Welcome to the forum thread for "Race in the Justice System," the Justice Talking show for the week of December 10 - 16, 2007.

Several high-profile court cases around the country are raising racial tensions. Some human rights organizations say the example of the Jena 6, the story of Martin Lee Anderson and other cases show how a range of policies are working together to unfairly channel black men and boys into the criminal justice system at younger ages and for minor offenses. But some say there’s a lot of grey in between the black and white of race and justice in America. Join us for this edition of Justice Talking as we take a look at race and the justice system.

Please post your comments on this Justice Talking issue using this thread.

Thanks for your participation!
