March 16, Sunday -- Health issues in the prison setting will be one of four topics covered in "Behind the Walls," a daylong symposium sponsored by the UC Davis School of Law. Other topics: Race in sentencing and capital punishment; re-entry and recidivism; and advocacy. Speakers will include Natasha Minsker, death penalty director at the Northern California ACLU, and Carter "Cappy" White, a professor of law at UC Davis and director of the law school's Civil Rights Clinic. The clinic recently established new precedent regarding a prisoner's Eighth Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment, in a case involving a prisoner's inability to exercise. Additional speakers will include representatives from the San Francisco-based Delancey Street Foundation, which focuses on re-entry and recidivism in California prisons. The symposium will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in rooms 1008 and 2008 of King Hall. It is free and open to the public.
