Committee Attorney Barred from Scheduled Prison Tours

David Utter, an attorney and executive director of the Juvenile Justice Project of Louisiana, is crying foul after state officials have barred him from taking prison tours with the Juvenile Justice Commission advisory committee, reports The Advocate. "Corrections officials said they yanked Utter's invitation because he is one of the plaintiff attorneys in civil-rights lawsuits against the state over prison conditions."
