Prisoner Litigant and Prison Law Library Secondary Resource List
By Robert Pierce
In the field of law, books that deal with an overall view of a topic, those that are used in teaching law, or that are encyclopedic in nature, are known as secondary resource materials. These secondary resources are essential to the jailhouse lawyer when developing strategies on writs and/or when researching the origins of a certain area of law.
It appears that these types of books are the most underdeveloped sort of material in prison law libraries; therefore, in an effort to level the playing field against the State, The Prison Legal News recommends that every prisoner activist seek to insure that the following list of secondary resource material is available to prisoners at their respective law libraries. If the books are not available, try to get these titles added to your local law libraries. We did it by using monies from the Inmate Welfare Fund.
