Panelists will examine the role of jailhouse lawyers and other incarcerated advocates as Human Rights Defenders who protect the human rights of millions of incarcerated people in the United States and around the world. Speakers will reflect on how these inside advocates regularly face violence and retaliation for doing just legal work, and underline the need for recognition, respect, and dignity.
