Featured Speakers:

Mark Clements

Mark Clements was 16 years old when he was sentenced to life without parole for a crime he did not commit. His conviction was based on a confession that was tortured out of him by Chicago police officers under the command of Jon Burge. He spent 27 years in prison for arson and murder -- and was released last August after the circumstances surrounding his "confession" came to light. Mark is a writer and an organizer, a member of the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression-Chicago, the Jail Jon Burge Committee, and the Administrator for the Campaign to End the Death Penalty (www.nodeathpenalty.org).

Paul Wright

Paul Wright is the editor and co-founder of Prison Legal News (www.prisonlegalnews.org), the longest publishing independent prisoner rights magazine in US history. He is the co-author of Prison Profiteers, Prison Nation and the Celling of America, which all expose the injustices of the US prison industry. Paul was imprisoned for 17 years in Washington State until his release in 2003. During and since his incarceration, he has successfully litigated a wide variety of censorship and public records issues against prison systems around the country both as a plaintiff and on behalf of other prisoners and Prison Legal News.



From death rows to super-maxes, over 2.3 million men and women sit behind bars today. Lethal Injustice speakers are organizing on the front lines of the fight against criminal injustice, taking a stand against the racist death penalty, and raising their voices about the increasingly harsh sentences meted out by US courts today.
