To Whom It May Concern:
Robert Saunders has been a clerk in the [redacted] Library off end on since May 1978. His primary duty has been as & clerk to the Librarian.

He was originally hired because of his extensive know- ledge of the Law, particularly the laws of Delaware, and the functioning of the Delaware Courts. His assistance to the Librarian included advising other inmates who were researching their own cases, typing the business and legal correspondence for the Librarian, operating the copying machine and serving as janitor and book shelfer.

In May of 1981 the Librarian, having successfully passed the Delaware Bar Examination, took a position with the Public DeSenders Office leaving DCC without e professional Librarian.
The functioning of the library, especially the law library required that someone with some knowledge of law be in charge so chat legal services, legal advice and legal texts be available tc & maximum extent.

Robert was asked to assume this responsibility until a professional could be hired. He accepted and ran the law library from May until mid December and in so doing enabled us to provide all the legal services that the inmates were entitled to.

Robert has been faithful to his superviser. He carried out his responsibilities with professional skill. His assistance to inmates was greatly appreciated by ther. He enabled us to maintain at least a minimum acceptable level of service to Maximum Security inmates.

He is to be commended for this efforts expended to maintain the level of services normally expected of professionals. In so doing he served the administration in an exemplary way and served his fellow inmates unselfishly.

This outstanding performance should not go unnoted.

Sincerely,
Wesly. C. Smith

› Pre-psychological evaluation of potential correctional officers
Comments By Robert Saunders:
Correctional institutions are expected to make communities safer. However, high rates of incarceration and little investment in rehabilitation fuel recidivism and increase problems for the communities hit hardest by incarceration.
If correctional systems are to perform a public safety function, the public must be able to hold institutions at least partly accountable for the impact inmates have on the communities upon returning.
That requires measures of success that can be compared across systems, including recidivism, family reunification and employment after release and knowledge about conditions of confinement that influence those outcomes.

Legal Redress Committee (LRC)
"Litigation has probably been the single most important source of change in prison in the past fifty years"
Malcolm Fretley and Van Swearinger
"The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons."
Fyader Destoyersky
Who Are We
The Legal Redress Committee is dedi- cated to the principal that inmates are persons with indisputable rights to justice. We strive to provide safe- ; guards to our constitutional and human rights. We believe that condi- tions of confinement should not add to the alienation and hostility of inmates within prison or after re-entering society.
