Consider spending time on death row and turning that experience into the drive to get a doctorate? In this edition of Radio Curious we visit with Professor Rudolph Alexander, Jr., author of “To Ascend Into The Shining World Again.” As a 17 year old student, Rudolph Alexander found himself in a threatening situation in which he felt compelled to shoot another man. His trial, in which he felt he was badly misrepresented by his attorney, he was convicted and sentenced to death by the electric chair in the State of Georgia. Following a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1968, Rudolph’s sentence was changed to life imprisonment. He was later granted trusty status, which aided him in securing parole in 1975. Rebounding from his ordeal, Alexander began college, earning four degrees, including a Ph.D. in Social Work from the University of Minnesota. Presently Alexander is a full professor at Ohio State University. We spoke with Rudolph Alexander from his home in Ohio on October 26th 2009 and began by asking him to reflect on the extremes he has experienced in his life. The book Rudolph Alexander recommends is “My Grandfather’s Son: A Memoir” by Justice Clarence Thomas, of the United States Supreme Court.Bryan Stevenson EJI juvenile life in prison After the recordings The lines will be open for comments.

This show is a recording. Read by Gord Mackenzie. Civil Disobedience is an essay by Henry David Thoreau. Published in 1849 under the title Resistance to Civil Government, it expressed Thoreau’s belief that people should not allow governments to overrule or atrophy their consciences, and that people have a duty both to avoid doing injustice directly and to avoid allowing their acquiescence to enable the government to make them the agents of injustice. Thoreau was motivated in part by his disgust with slavery and the Mexican-American War.

Interview with Mr. Stevenson the EJI Executive Director

The Injustice System is a show that talks about the injustice in our justice system. I will read letters from prisoners and other information relating to prisoners. I will also be talking about other forms of injustice in our society. Probably over 300,000 prisoners are innocent. Some of the guilty prisoners have a lot to say to help our youth keep from following in their footsteps. They also have a lot to say about the conditions in prison. If you have a relative in prison that is innocent or abused feel free to call in. You can email me if you want to be on the show or you can email an audio file to me.
