Long description: While serving 17 years in the Washington State
Reformatory, Paul Wright started Prison Legal News, the leading source
of legal information for people who are incarcerated.

Recently he has co-edited a book, Prison Profiteers, that exposes
those making money at the expense of the nation’s 2.3 million
prisoners.

He is very active in the national campaign for phone justice, has
written widely against private prisons and is an important figure in
alternative media networks. He is also the executive director of the
Human Rights Defense Center.

We will gather with Paul for an informal conversation. He is
presenting at the Y's Friday Forum at noon Friday as well.
