Starting in late September, KPCC posed questions about the challenges the state, the prison workforce and the inmate population will face as state prisons undergo significant changes this year – rehab and education programs are getting cut, there are court orders to reduce the prison population and improve medical care. 

Two innocent men imprisoned for 40 years

--> The "Omaha Two:" Victimized by COINTELPRO Injustice - by Stephen Lendman

After a two week April 1971 trial and four days of deliberation, an 11 white/one black member jury convicted Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice) and Edward Poindexter for the bombing murder of police officer Larry Minard on August 17, 1970. Both men denied involvement, and ever since consistently maintained their innocence, insisting they were framed. Supporters agree, including Amnesty International that declared them political prisoners, and no wonder.

Jeff "Free" Luers RELEASED!

Congratulations and welcome home Jeff!

Jeff Luers, who was sentenced to more than 22 years for burning SUVs in Eugene, has been released from prison. Kristian Foden-Vencil reports:

In 2000, Luers and Craig Marshall set fire to three big cars at a Eugene dealership to protest excessive consumption -- and to make a statement about global warming.

Marshall was sentenced to five and a half years, but because of an earlier conviction for attempted arson, Luers  drew a 22-year 8-month sentence -- longer than some people convicted for murder in Oregon.
