On February 8, 2017, students in the MacArthur Justice Clinic inspected the conditions on Death Row and interviewed Death Row inmates at the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, Mississippi. Their visit was part of the Clinic’s ongoing monitoring of Mississippi’s compliance with a settlement agreement entered into as the result of litigation brought by the MacArthur Justice Center alleging that the conditions on Mississippi’s Death Row violated the constitutional rights of inmates housed there. Since 2015, more than 30 students from Ole Miss Law have participated in this monitoring effort.
