Making it easier for detainees to meet, call and email their lawyers are among more than 30 recommendations from the review led by two department divisions, the Bureau of Prisons and the Office for Access to Justice.
Other proposals aim to boost prison staffing to facilitate communication and create a central leadership position to coordinate policies across the Bureau of Prisons.
“We’re excited because the report is very comprehensively stating we recognize these are barriers and let’s figure out solutions,” Rachel Rossi, director of Access to Justice, told USA TODAY. “Implementation is the next piece of this.”
How about just making FDC not a complete nightmare to get into and not forcing lawyers to wait excessively to see there clients?

For the first time, DOJ sought the advice of the formerly incarcerated as well as PDs, CJA reps and defense lawyers. This is huge step forward.
You really believe DOJ accepts it is their job to make it easier for criminal defendants to defend themselves and challenge the conditions of their confinement?
You stupid fucks.
The only reason Justice would be involved in something like this is to make sure they have their finger on what “reforms” will be offered.
Harsh man. You need timeout in SHU.
At what level is your experience on the issue, genius?
