Practice in Place: Law and Justice Go ViralAuthor: UArizona Law Legal Writing
A podcast that asks the question: how does a profession governed by precedent respond to the unprecedented? Practice in Place investigates how the practice of law and the administration of justice have adapted under the abrupt constraints of the COVID-19 era, how that has affected how and whether we achieve justice, and how those changes and that experience might or should change the practice, the profession, and its procedures forever.

Ep_8 John Dacey, Robert Craig, and Abolish Private Prisons
Tuesday, 1 September, 2020
In past episodes, we have talked about how the pandemic has highlighted existing issues in the criminal justice system. Back in 2016, the Department of Justice's Inspector General concluded that private prisons posed significantly greater danger to inmate rights and safety. In 2020, these concerns arose again with at least two private prisons becoming COVID-19 hotspots and watchdogs questioning the transparency and accuracy of infection reports coming from those facilities. In this episode, Susie Salmon discusses COVID-19 in private prisons and interviews attorneys John Dacey and Robert Craig of Abolish Private Prisons about the lawsuit against the Arizona Department of Corrections asserting that private prisons are unconstitutional. You can see more about Abolish Private Prisons and the litigation at abolishprivateprisons.org.
