Throughout his career, Liman demonstrated how dedicated lawyers, in both private practice and public life, can serve the needs of people and causes that might otherwise go unrepresented. He was chief counsel to the New York State Special Commission on Attica Prison; President of the Legal Aid Society of New York and of the Neighborhood Defender Services of Harlem; Chair of the Legal Action Center in New York City; Chair of the New York State Capital Defender’s Office; and Special Counsel to the United States Senate Committee Investigating Secret Military Assistance to Iran and the Nicaraguan Opposition. The Liman Program was created in 1997 to forward the commitments of Arthur Liman as an exemplary lawyer dedicated to public service in the furtherance of justice. The Program supports the work of law students, law school graduates, and students from six universities, all of whom work to respond to problems of inequality and to improve access to justice for those without resources. The Program also engages in research and other projects to address pressing societal issues, such as those reflected in this book. Acknowledgements We thank the participants at the 17th Annual Liman Colloquium for contributing suggestions for materials to this volume and the Oscar M. Ruebhausen Fund at Yale Law School, which supported this volume’s publication. Liman Colloquium 2014 Isolation and Reintegration Punishment Circa 2014 Jan. 6, 2015 Liman Colloquium 2014 PREFACE “As punishments become more cruel, so the minds of men, like fluids that always adjust their level according to the objects around them. This is because one punishment obtains sufficient effect when its severity just exceeds the benefit the offender receives from the crime, and the degree of excess must be calculated precisely according to the damage to public good caused by the crime. Any additional punishment is superfluous and therefore a tyranny.” Cesare Beccaria, ON CRIMES AND PUNISHMENTS 69-70 (XXVII, The Mildness of Punishment) (5th ed. Trans. Graeme R. Newman & Pietro Marongui, 2009, republishing 1754 edition). “The general object which all laws have, or ought to have, in common, is to augment the total happiness of the community; and therefore, in the first place, to exclude, as far as may be, every thing that tends to subtract from that happiness: in other words, to exclude mischief. But all punishment is mischief: all punishment in itself is evil. Upon the principle of utility, if it ought at all to be admitted, it ought only to be admitted in as far as it promises to exclude some greater evil.” Jeremy Bentham, AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PRINCIPLES OF MORALS AND LEGISLATION, paras.1-2 (VII, Cases Unmeet for Punishment) (1822). In centuries past, reformers such as Cesare Beccaria and Jeremy Bentham offered what were then radical visions of alternative conceptions of punishment. These materials invite comparably ambitious aspirations to reframe the practices of punishment in the twenty-first century. The specter of Bentham’s proposed Panopticon stands as a reminder that one generation’s efforts at improvements may come to be understood as misguided by the next generation of reformers.

  • The Prison Industry and Ending the Exploitation of Those It Touches
    Worth Rises Worth Rises is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to dismantling the prison industry and ending the exploitation of those it touches. Partnering deliberately with directly impacted people, we work to expose the commercialization of the legal system and advocate and organize to protect and return the economic value extracted from affected communities. We envision a society in which no entity or individual relies on human caging or control for their wealth, operation, or livelihood. Through our work, we strive to help pave the road toward a world without police and prisons. As part of our public education strategy, we conduct research, collect data, and perform innovative analyses aimed at unmasking the harms caused by the prison industry. Understanding the mobilizing power of knowledge, we transform our analyses into accessible and compelling content designed to increase awareness and shift discourse around the commercialization of the criminal legal system. Acknowledgements Worth Rises graciously acknowledges everyone whose time, energy, and passion went into the development of this report. Of course, we thank our staff members who worked tirelessly to get this report across the finish line Bianca Tylek, Jan Combopiano, Taylor Campbell, Luke Noel, and Martin Garcia.

  • Human Rights Defense Center DEDICATED to PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
    Human Rights Defense Center DEDICATED TO PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS October 18, 2019 Dear HRDC Supporter, Every year we conduct an annual fundraiser in the fall because the income we receive from subscriptions and book sales alone do not cover the expenses of our advocacy work on behalf of prisoners, their families and the victims of police state violence and exploitation. We receive very little in the way of foundation funding and rely on individual donors – people like you – who can and do make a difference by donating to the Human Rights Defense Center (HRDC). HRDC Director Paul Wright We have had a very busy year. In addition to publishing Prison Legal News and Criminal Legal News, we filed a number of First Amendment censorship lawsuits around the nation; we continued to advocate for low phone rates for prisoners and their families; we sued the Palm Beach County jail in Florida and ended the practice of confining children in solitary confinement and depriving them of an education; we are publishing a new self- help book on prosecutorial misconduct and much, much more. Our social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, as well as our daily e-newsletter, continues to grow as we expand our advocacy. We continue to run the Campaign for Prison Phone Justice, Stop Prison Profiteering campaign and Prison Ecology Project. But we still need to do more. We want to make sure that all our readers, especially those in prisons and jails, can receive and read the magazines and books we publish and distribute. Since the very first issue of PLN was published in May 1990, we have faced censorship by detention officials who are not pleased with our news coverage of the criminal justice system.
