Clemency for Battered Women

Tags: | | | |

www.umich.edu/~clemency/clemency_manual/manual_intro.htmlI was bowled away by this project after seeing a film & presentation this Friday afternoon, for me it exemplified what this conference is about: Susan Fair founded the Michigan Battered Women's Clemency Project in 1991. Volunteer attorneys and advocates joined with her and distributed questionnaires to women in two Michigan prisons. Their aim was to identify women inmates who were convicted of murder and for whom the battered woman syndrome was an explanatory defense, but for whom that evidence was either not raised, raised inadequately, or rejected by the judge. Approximately 50 women were interviewed; 25 were identified as primary candidates for clemency petitions.

twisted triage

Tags: |

Outside the Octagon (the Library) & the reception area I passed and was dragged into what looks like a twisted battlefield triage, medical drips hanging, nurses & doctors questioning, interrogating people. If you are seen you are immediately taken aside & asked to prove your identity, empty your pockets and follow pointless instruction after pointless instruction.
