So, this last week a number of the interns were administered one of the holy sacraments of a public-interest legal career -- going inside lockdown facilities to visit clients.
The lucky lackeys (all females, we think) visited residents (or wards, if that's what they're called) in juvenile detention facilities and a mental institution.
For now, while the rest of wait behind the velvet rope for our own field trips, we can only pump our more seasoned colleagues for a few titilating details. (And extrapolate from the exciting tidbits we've picked up watching Prison Break and Ernest Goes to Jail.)
(Disclaimer: The accompanying picture and the reference to Ernest are in no way meant to trivialize the conditions in these facilities.)
