Jailhouse Lawyers
Show #1102

Unless you’re facing capital charges, there’s just too little affordable legal representation—especially post-conviction. But, at times, the gap is filled by prisoners who spend their time reading law books, and helping fellow inmates to file appeals. In this edition of Due Process, Sandra King goes inside Northern State Prison to meet one of New Jersey’s most prolific jailhouse lawyers. Raymond Brown’s guests in the studio are former Federal Judge Stephen Orlofsky, Criminal Defense Lawyer Paul Casteleiro, and former prisoner David Shephard, who helped overturn his own rape conviction by turning to the prison law library.
