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.

Without these incredible men and women acting on behalf of prisoners who have been falsely charged, or, those who need assistance in planning and attending a hearing or court case, many would be lost in the confines of what has become a very corrupt system. Even with the help of professionals, many still find themselves locked away. When in reality no crime had ever been committed by the individual.

In some cases, these individuals often work tirelessly on these cases which remain in question. Most often the individuals work to have old evidence updated through new DNA technologies. Some of the most recent have already proved more than a few people awaiting execution innocent. As such, many death penalty supporters, and those whom have always been against the death penalty, now question the ethical aspects of executing an innocent individual.

In other cases, these attorneys work with States to determine if measures being used in the process of the execution are cruel and unusual punishment. California, up until recently had banned the death penalty until the State could prove this was not the case. It would be good if Texas, who has the most executions on record could follow the same procedures.

Take one case for example, in which a man on parole acted in self-defense after a woman came at him with a knife, because he stopped her, and she went and told neighbors a different story, the police came and arrested the young man whom never had a chance to tell the other side of the story. In prison, the pubic defender would not listen to the story either, resulting in a long sentence, and additional time on parole.

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.

Over the years, this has transpired into something much different. Most recently, that of harassment and murder, not only in Missouri, New York, Texas, but around the world. Realities which show the important work which these individuals do on a regular basis. While not all are successful, it is hopeful that most dealing with innocent individuals which have been locked away will get the help one needs to find freedom.
