I was a Student and then a Student Director with Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners from 1987-1989 attached mainly to Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater. We handled inmates requests of legal help that involved divorces, name changes, alimony payments, child support, torts and the like. We would have to handle any that requested help as far as I recall. Did not matter what they had done.

My bosses probably as a joke of sorts on me had me represent as a student attorney two boys who burned down a MN school library. I have a MA in Librarianship which my bosses knew about. I did not tell the boys about my love of libraries. Cannot go into any more details than that.
