By now all subscribers should have received PLN's bi annual reader survey and fundraiser letter. We have not received that many responses back to the survey which may mean everyone is happy with PLN's content the way it is. If you have not yet returned it please do so. Among the changes we are planning to make if readers do not object, is move our coverage of suicide, crime victim, employee and juvenile litigation to our website where it can be accessed by interested parties there and leave our print pages open for more prison and jail related news and legal information. Let us know your thoughts on this.

PLN's website continues to grow as we add more cases, articles and news information to it on a daily basis. It is available to those with internet access and has been designed so the contents can be easily printed for mailing to prisoners. It contains a wealth of information on prisons and jails and detention facility litigation found nowhere else. In addition, PLN has launched its free list serv where we post news and court rulings about prisons and jails on a regular basis. Anyone can sign up for it. Prisoners should let friends and family on the outside and anyone else interested in criminal justice issues know about these tremendous resources.

We got behind our regular publishing schedule last year but we are slowly catching up. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused our subscribers. Enjoy this issue of PLN and please encourage others to subscribe.
