Willie Brown Show: Prisoners' Bill of Rights

About This Item

Willie Brown interviews Pamela Smith-Steward, Lawyer for the Department of Corrections, Emma Childer, lobbyist for inmate's rights, Patsy Gillis, whose step-daughter was murdered, and Dorsey Nunn, ex-inmate. They discuss the controversial issue of the inmate’s bill of rights, a 1968 bill dating back to Ronald Reagan's first term as governor. Interviewees debate whether prisoners should or should not retain the same rights in prison as they would outside of prison. Other issues discussed include: the creation of programs to prevent crimes and the rights of the victims and how they are represented.
