Dr. Joshua Sbicca has been serving as an expert witness in a federal class action lawsuit that was recently covered by Verite News’“Lawsuit over farm line work assignments at Angola goes to trial” article and The Advocate’s“Advocacy groups press to abolish Angola prison’s Farm Line in Baton Rouge federal court” article.

Last spring, Josh was featured in New Orleans Public Radio’scoverage of the trial hearings, “Angola ‘farm line’ hearings highlight controversies over prison labor, heat.”

“…what happens at Angola is out of step with contemporary correctional institutions, according to his observations and his national research on prison agricultural programs” wrote Kat Stromquist, New Orleans Public Radio.
