Cannot really say much of anything else because of attorney/client privilege. The judge I had to talk to on behalf of this client also chewed me out but I was just doing my job and the victim of this man would have been notified right away about this man's legal action . I did start fighting for victims rights connected to libraries is all sorts shortly after graduating from the U of Minnesota Law School. I graduated in May of 1989. Voiced my concerns about inadequacies in collections in law libraries for victims/ survivors of crimes soon after that.

As an interesting aside the prison newspaper of Minnesota Correctional Facility -Stillwater is called
The Prison Mirror. The Prison Mirror | Minnesota Historical Society
The Prison Mirror | Minnesota Historical Society
The Younger brothers started the newspaper after they were captured by towns people and others after their Northfield Raid and then imprisoned at Stillwater. The James brothers got out of Minnesota.
