The >Philadelphia reporter, who was convicted for the murder of police >officer Daniel Faulkner, has been on death row for close to 30 >years. In that time, a lot has changed... The US prison population >now stands at 2.2 million disproportionately black and Latino. With >a prison protest in Georgia last month gaining next to no national >coverage, and the very strange release deal for the Scott sisters in >Mississiippi, today we go beyond the very disputed facts of the >Mumia conviction to what close observation of his story reveals in >terms of prisons, police and popular movements on these issues. > >We're joined by two close observers: Johanna Fernandez, professor of >history at Baruch College and the producer and writer of a new >documentary on Mumia Abu-Jamal: Justice on Trial. And Linn >Washington, who's covered the Mumia case for three decades. He is a >columnist at the Philadelphia Tribune and a professor of journalism >at Temple University.
