**Spanish-language Law Librarians Needed**

Letter to the PADOC secretary

TO: [email protected]

I'm writing you on behalf of prisoners at SCI Dallas and across the PADOC system. With a growing number of migrant detentions across the country, it is more important than ever that Spanish-language legal services be made available in prisons. At SCI Dallas a bilingual prisoner was denied the ability to be a law librarian. As a result many prisoners have not been able to effectively use the law library, depriving them of their right to do so.

As an organization that provides educational and legal materials to prisoners we ask that you look into this matter. Specifically we are asking that you ensure there is Spanish-language assistance by someone knowledgeable in the law provided in PADOC law libraries. These people are facing deportation hearings and time is of the essence to get them the legal access that they need.

Sincerely,

**To Support: email the Secretary or call SCI-Dallas directly at 570 675 1101**

Preparing to teach legal research and writing for the first time in awhile. I'm not a Bluebook fan but, with a new edition, updated my tab system from the last edition I used heavily and upped my color game! The system is a money spinner for elite law schools. So glad to see Illinois' lenient citation approach. I'm hoping to help shift students to the free Indigo Book (https://indigobook.github.io/) and plug public domain citation formats.

You'd be surprised at some of the research that law librarians do for their patrons.
