Paul talks about founding Prison Legal News while incarcerated in Washington State as a resource for prisoners. Overcoming hurdles to publishing and distribution, including the first three issues completely banned in Washington State prisons, Prison Legal News emerged as a leading nation-wide magazine in the United States with over 7,000 subscribers in all 50 states. Possibly the most censored publication in the country, Prison Legal News has successfully pressed lawsuits against prison mail restrictions and to improve prison conditions for the last 21 years.
Paul also talks about the economics of prison slavery and how prisons manage unemployment rates and poor people. Prison Legal News is currently working on a campaign to end high prisoner phone call costs.
