Concerns Of A Prisoner Rights Attorney In NYC

By Enid Hinton


Crime exist everywhere in the world. While this is the case, increases in the number of individuals incarcerated between 1969 and 2013 is staggering. It has been reported that since 1969, more individuals have been incarcerated than ever before in history. Crimes are being by corrections officers, police officers and prison guards than are being reported in a number of areas. It is for these and associated reasons that a prisoner rights attorney in NYC is essential at places like Ryker's Island, and other institutions around the world.

These men and women often either work Pro Bono, or at the very least at fees less than other traditional cases. Those who work Pro Bono need be praised for giving so much free time to do so. Especially, the ones who may have questions with regards to guilt, or innocence but work on a case to get the best deal, if not release possible.

One area in which these individuals often work tirelessly are in cases in which those whom the attorney, or attorneys believe is innocent has been placed on death row for a higher crime, or crimes. It is the innocent within these walls which need the most help. For whether attempting to obtain a Stay from a Governor, or continue to prove innocence, all can take years from when the individual, innocent or otherwise was first charged, jailed and sent to prison.

Due to a number of reasons, and stupidity at times, individuals on parole are often immediately assumed guilty even when it comes to minor violations. One reason this is the case is because of the statistics of felons who achieve parole then re-offend. While this is a proven fact with some, not all parolees should be considered in this light.

In one case, a young man defended himself from a knife-welding x-wife, still when the police came, he was the one arrested without question. Neither he nor his x-wife were questioned, he was on parole so he was going to jail. In prison, the young man had the help of an attorney who finally listened to, and believed his side of the story due to past issues on her part.

The U. S. Congress has designed a new bill which requires police to submit reports related to any police shooting, including the age, gender, ethnicity of the person and the crime which was allegedly being committed at the time. A bill that is now on the way to President Obama, who it is hoped will sign the bill into law.

The U. S. Congress, after researching the recent events in the United States with regards to police murders has now set forth new regulations. Initially, the police forces in the United States and elsewhere were developed to serve and protect the people in a time of need.

While the statistics are few and far between, the numbers related to black youth to white youth killed in the United States is 21 black individuals to every one white person. These are only the statistics by police agencies who volunteered information for the survey. There are many others who were not included in the survey so the numbers may actually be much higher than stated.
