The Hustler Files Ep 154

In The Hustler Files

WHEN CLASS ACTION WINS OUT OVER RETALIATION

Access to justice stops at the prison gates unless you happen to be incarcerated in one of the few states in the U.S. that has prisoner legal services available. For 9 plaintiffs and another 150 incarcerated men at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Massachusetts, legal help from Prisoner Legal Services and Hogan Lovells Law Firm was able to offer legal support, and won a $7 million landmark case, against the correctional center. In this episode of The Hustler Files, Lawyers of the Year, in Massachusetts, David Milton and Kayla Ghantous discuss the critical role of organizations dedicated to advocating for prisoners facing legal challenges, while incarcerated. While civil legal services exist for housing, benefits, and family matters, far fewer resources are available to those behind bars, leaving many without the legal support they desperately need. This conversation shines a light on the growing demand for prisoner legal advocacy, the gaps in access to justice, and why these services are more essential than ever, because justice should never depend on where you are.
