Glen Ford: The criminal justice system is a criminal enterprise

[jwplayer mediaid=”5810″]

Journalist Glen Ford says the Department of Justice’s probe is not big news but big noise, distracting people to think that the current system is broken and can be fixed rather than understanding that the system is operating just as it was designed to operate and incarcerate millions of Black bodies.

In January of 2014, the National Association of Assistant United States Attorneys published an open letter to US Attorney Eric Holder stating that they did not agree with his assessment that the criminal justice system was broken but that it was working like it was supposed to work.
