President
CHICAGO, Ill, - The
Rev, Jesse L. Jackson,
executive director of
People United To Save
Humanity (PUSH) has
called for a national
investigation of human
rights violations and
abuses against inmates
in jails and for training
to give prisoners the
skills they need to hold
jobs after their release.
Rev. Jackson issued the call
last weekend on the sixth
anniversary of Operation
PUSH. He said that he has s^t
a telegram to President Jimmy
Carter, requesting an investi
gation of the human rights
denied American prisoners.
He said. "So far. Carter has
made a big international
splash trying to free Russian
prisoners, but right here,
young men by the thousands
are languishing in jails, unable
to afford bail or lawyers and
unable to get speedy trials."
According to Jackson.
400.0(X) persons are behind bars
in U. S. jails and 70 to 80
percc t of them are black or
brown. "A great percentage
are poor and young," ite stated.
"There is some indication of
racism and perhaps classism
as well in the judicial system.
