The Crime of Poverty

Access to Counsel and Recourse
Written By Kathleen Paolo

By Carl C. Holmes, Esq.

July 1999

The author, chosen as Public Defender of the Year by the California Public Defenders’ Association, challenges the bar. Will we continue with our delirium for punishment as we lock more and more of the poor away to labor for pennies an hour, and sacrifice the Constitution to do it, or will we attack poverty itself?
