Ever since I began graduate school, I have looked forward to my meetings with Bill, who has unceasingly supported my rather tortuous intellectual trajectory. Frances has been a wonderful reader and perfectly demanding interlocutor. She also kept me focused on the finish line whenever I was tempted to slow down or veer off course. James Duesterberg and Andres Millan are my primary founts of intellectual rigor and conversational virtuosity. James and Andres see through any and all bullshit—personal, philosophical, institutional—and I feel incredibly lucky to have them as close friends and colleagues. Sonia Vora and Aleks Prigozhin were unfailingly generous in helping me structure my thoughts at the initial stages of writing. Sonia was always attentive to my unsolicited riffing, and offered unexpected and often brilliant thoughts in return.

  • May 2013 Prison Break
    Prison Break Correctional Liability Update May 2013 Housing Gang Members Together: Can a Blood and a Crip Just Get Along? By Susan E. Coleman Inmates who are assaulted by other inmates, whether cell mates, co- workers, or inmates on the yard, often sue prison administrators for failing to protect them. After all, the Eighth Amendment has been interpreted by the courts to include a duty to protect prisoners. However, a vague risk of harm simply because prisons are violent places which house dangerous criminals is not enough to create liability; something more specific is required. In the case of Labatad v. Corrections Corporation of America, et al, decided on May 1, 2013, the Ninth Circuit found that even housing rival gang members together was insufficient under the circumstances to find that defendants were deliberately indifferent. Labatad, a State of Hawaii inmate incarcerated at the Saguaro Correctional Center, operated by the Corrections Corporation of America Susan E. (“CCA”), was assaulted by his cellmate in July 2009. Naturally, Labatad Coleman is sued CCA for failing to protect him, alleging deliberate indifference to a partner at his safety under the Eighth Amendment. Because Labatad’s assailant the law firm was a member of a rival prison gang, this suit might at first blush seem of Burke, to have some merit, in that prison officials should be aware of Williams & longstanding prison gang rivalries. For example, in California it would Sorensen, be highly unusual to house a Black Guerrilla Family associate with a where she Mexican Mafia affiliate, and some would argue that a violent specializes confrontation would be foreseeable.
