Did you know nearly 95% of criminal cases never go to trial?

Most are settled through plea bargains, and while that keeps courts moving, it doesn't always mean justice is served.

When defendants feel pressured to accept a deal just to avoid a harsher sentence, something is wrong with the system.

We believe courts can be both efficient and fair.
That starts with asking the RIGHT QUESTIONS.

Hello all, reporter here! I'm looking into jail conditions in Illinois, and I saw that the state's most recent inspection of Madison County Jail found that some people were sleeping on the floor. Has anyone here experienced that or know more about what's going on there?

Jeffery Lee was convicted back in 1998 for murdering two people in a pawnshop robbery. The victims were Jimmy Ellis, the owner of the shop, and Elaine Thompson, an employee working on that tragic day, December 2, 1998. They were reported to have been brutally and senselessly murdered. Lee has been on death row for over 25 years and is awaiting his punishment. Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said she was disappointed but "remains committed to ensuring that justice is ultimately served for his victims" (Verity News).

Are they around the violent inmates?

I’m self surrendering to women’s federal prison camp next Tuesday. I haven’t received any information other than a forwarded email from the US Marshalls telling my attorney to tell me where I need to self surrender. Am I supposed to get a letter from the BOP before I go? I thought someone told me after my sentencing hearing that I would, but it’s all a blur. What do I need to bring with me? Do I bring my prescriptions with me or will they have all of that already? I have a list of my medications from my doctor and my doctor refilled all my meds to bring with me, but is this allowed? Do I bring any legal paperwork? Should I send money to my commissary account now or the day before I get there. Anything else I need to know or bring with me on Tuesday?
I’m in my 50s and this is my first offense. My sentence is 12 months and 1 day. How much time do you think I will realistically serve in the camp? Thanks for any advice you can offer.
