DESCRIPTION:\nOvercrowding in a California prison. Courtesy Rosen Bien Galvan & 
 Grunfeld LLP\n\nPaul Butler was an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Harvard 
 Law grad who gave up his corporate law salary to fight the good fight, 
 until one day he was arrested on the street and charged with a crime he 
 didn’t commit. Paul talked about how ordinary citizens interact with the 
 justice system, and examined the system’s overall strengths and 
 weaknesses. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nPaul's analysis is grounded in the radical notion 
 that the government should respect people's right to be secure in their 
 persons and property, a right formerly enshrined in the Fourth Amendment. 
 Even more fundamentally, he argues that we should re-embrace freedom in 
 this country in ways that range from not incarcerating nonviolent offenders 
 to decriminalizing drugs. Our prisons have made our lives more dangerous by 
 serving to indoctrinate nonviolent offenders in the ways of violent crime. 
 Not only are we squandering lives that might otherwise be productive, but 
 we are also creating a contempt for law not seen since Prohibition and 
 extending police power in a manner not consistent with a free society. Paul 
 is interviewed by Peter Slen of C-Span.\nSource: C-Span: Ordinary Citizens 
 and the Justice System\n\n\nEliminating the racial disparities inherent to 
 our nation’s criminal-justice policies and practices must be at the heart 
 of a renewed, refocused, and reenergized movement for racial justice in 
 America.\nSOURCE: AP/ California Department of Corrections\n\nEbiowei, 48, 
 carries an empty oil container on his head to a place where it would be 
 filled with refined fuel at an illegal refinery site near river Nun in 
 Nigeria's oil state of Bayelsa November 27, 2012. Locals in the industry 
 say workers can earn $50 to $60 a day. Thousands of people in Nigeria 
 engage in a practice known locally as 'oil bunkering' - hacking into 
 pipelines to steal crude then refining it or selling it abroad. The 
 practice, which leaves oil spewing from pipelines for miles around, managed 
 to lift around a fifth of Nigeria's two million barrel a day production 
 last year according to the finance ministry. Picture taken November 27,

 Oil\n\nIn Nigeria, it is normal for millions of gallons of oil to be 
 stolen. The thieves sell their giant tankers full of oil on the Nigerian 
 version of Craigslist. Reported by Julia Simon and Robert Smith.\nSource:
