Dates for the 2011 RebLaw Conference have been announced (February 18th-20th) - hope I can make it!

Prior to attending law school I worked for almost two years at a wonderful prisoners' rights organization in upstate New York, hence my continued deep concern for issues such as conditions of confinement, the treatment of the mentally ill while incarcerated, and the horrendous affect of solitary confinement on those subjected to this torture. It broke my heart to read this report, "Suicide and Solitary Confinement in New York State Prisons," on how horrible conditions remain despite the work of so many dedicated and hard-working individuals. It is easy to stay ignorant of the reality of our prisons, as they are often hidden out of sight from day to day life. But prisoners are no different than you or I, and the conditions they are subject to reflect our society's failures - for which we are all responsible. "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." Dostoyevsky
