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 °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ 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 °ÄÃÅÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û×ßÊÆͼ and director of the law school's Civil Rights Clinic.

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. For more information, visit: .
