Charging The Poor: Criminal Justice Debt & Modern-Day Debtors’ Prisons, Neil L. Sobol Feb 2016

Charging The Poor: Criminal Justice Debt & Modern-Day Debtors’ Prisons, Neil L. Sobol

Maryland Law Review

Debtors’ prisons should no longer exist. While imprisonment for debt was common in colonial times in the United States, subsequent constitutional provisions, legislation, and court rulings all called for the abolition of incarcerating individuals to collect debt. Despite these prohibitions, individuals who are unable to pay debts are now regularly incarcerated, and the vast majority of them are indigent. In 2015, at least ten lawsuits were filed against municipalities for incarcerating individuals in modern-day debtors’ prisons.

Limiting Death: Maryland’S New Death Penalty Law, Michael Millemann Jan 2010

Limiting Death: Maryland’S New Death Penalty Law, Michael Millemann

Maryland Law Review

In this Article, I describe and analyze the State of Maryland's 2009 death penalty law. This law adds three new death-eligibility criteria to the pre-existing law. These new evidentiary criteria supplement the pre-existing substantive death-eligibility criteria. As a result, Maryland now has one of the most restrictive death penalties in the country.

Collateral Remedies In Criminal Cases In Maryland: An Assessment, Michael A. Millemann Jan 2005

Collateral Remedies In Criminal Cases In Maryland: An Assessment, Michael A. Millemann

Maryland Law Review

Millemann surveys the legal remedies that convicted persons in Maryland have, focuses on the remedies provided by the Uniform Post Conviction Procedures Act, identifies several problems with the application of the Act - including the courts' overuse of the waiver provisions and failures to more fully develop and use exceptions to waiver, and argues that state courts have a special responsibility to protect the rights of prisoners given the general disengagement by federal courts.
