Ecarrots: Prison Control And Profits From Correctional Tablets, Justin Iverson
Ecarrots: Prison Control And Profits From Correctional Tablets, Justin Iverson
Scholarly Works
In recent years, tablets have gained tremendous popularity behind bars for their ability to expand access to educational and rehabilitative services for people in prison. However, there are downsides to tablet implementation, including high costs at the expense of a captive population and shifting power dynamics resulting in possible volatility. This Article examines the use of correctional tablets in jails and prisons as mechanisms for administrative control and profit-making in an era of beleaguered correctional budgets. It also considers legal and policy implications related to the disproportionately negative impact of the introduction of tablets on people in poverty, increased dependency …
Who Bears The Burden When Prison Guards Rape?, Meredith B. Esser
Who Bears The Burden When Prison Guards Rape?, Meredith B. Esser
Scholarly Works
Several recent scandals have highlighted the continued problem of institutional sexual abuse within the federal Bureau of Prisons ("BOP"). Most notoriously, the rampant sexual abuse of women incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution ("FCI") Dublin, also known as the "rape club," resulted in the prosecution and conviction of several high-ranking officials within FCI Dublin, including both the former Warden and former Chaplain who worked there for several years. In response to these patterns of misconduct, the Federal Sentencing Commission's new guidelines, which went into effect on November 1, 2023, now allow for victims of custodial sexual assault to apply for early …
Never Equals: Slavery, White Masculinities, And The Legacy Of Law In Today’S Workplace, Ann C. Mcginley
Never Equals: Slavery, White Masculinities, And The Legacy Of Law In Today’S Workplace, Ann C. Mcginley
Scholarly Works
This essay discusses two themes of Race Unequals: (1) the role of law in creating and reinforcing gendered, classed, and raced identities on plantations in the Antebellum South; and (2) the existence of slavery's legacy today in workplaces and the law's frequent failure to remedy its damaging tentacles. Part II describes masculinities studies from the social sciences and Multidimensional Masculinities Theory in law and applies the theory to analyze the first theme. Part III considers slavery's legacy in today's workplaces and analyzes employment discrimination law's shortcomings in eliminating racism in workplaces. The essay concludes that White masculinities, established in the …

Harris V. State, 138 Nev. Adv. Op. 40 (June 2, 2022), Candace Mays
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Nevada Supreme Court considered whether the district court erroneously dismissed the rights deprivation claims of the appellant, an incarcerated individual, on procedural grounds. The Court held that the lower court erred in dismissing the appellant’s claims with prejudice under NRCP 12(b)(5) when he had pleaded facts sufficient to place the respondents on notice of the nature of the claim and relief sought, in accordance with Nevada’s notice-pleading standard. The Court also held that the lower court erred in dismissing the appellant’s complaint with prejudice, without granting leave to amend to resolve the deficiencies in service, and without an explanation …

Civil Rights Law Equity: An Introduction To A Theory Of What Civil Rights Has Become, John Valery White
Civil Rights Law Equity: An Introduction To A Theory Of What Civil Rights Has Become, John Valery White
Scholarly Works
This Article argues that civil rights law is better understood as civil rights equity. It contends that the four-decade-long project of restricting civil rights litigation has shaped civil rights jurisprudence into a contemporary version of traditional equity. For years commentators have noted the low success rates of civil rights suits and debated the propriety of increasingly restrictive procedural and substantive doctrines. Activists have lost faith in civil rights litigation as an effective tool for social change, instead seeking change in administrative forums, or by asserting political pressure through social media and activism to compel policy change. As for civil rights …

Laboratories Of Democracy: State Law As A Partial Solution To Workplace Harassment, Ann C. Mcginley
Laboratories Of Democracy: State Law As A Partial Solution To Workplace Harassment, Ann C. Mcginley
Scholarly Works
This Article analyzes the substantive and procedural problems created by the federal judiciary in Title VII hostile work environment law that concurrently drains federal anti-harassment law of its meaning. The premise is that, at least for the near future, relying on federal courts and/or the U.S. Congress to protect employees' civil rights is likely fruitless. Instead, we should encourage state legislatures that seek to improve civil rights in employment in their own jurisdictions and state supreme courts to interpret their own state laws to recognize employees' civil rights to the fullest extent possible. Part II analyzes how federal courts decide …

Distributed Federalism: The Transformation Of Younger, Anne R. Traum
Distributed Federalism: The Transformation Of Younger, Anne R. Traum
Scholarly Works
For decades federal courts have remained mostly off limits to civil rights cases challenging the constitutionality of state criminal proceedings. Younger abstention, which requires federal courts to abstain from suits challenging the constitutionality of pending state prosecutions, has blocked plaintiffs from bringing meritorious civil rights cases and insulated local officials and federal courts from having to defend against or decide them. Younger’s reach is broad. It has forced political protestors (from the Vietnam era to Black Lives Matter) to challenge the constitutionality of their arrests and prosecutions within their state criminal proceedings. The doctrine also has made it difficult to …
