Wisconsin prison conditions anger states and nations
The Chicago Tribune argues tough on crime should not justify inhumane prison conditions. It cites Waupun in Wisconsin with months confined to cells, feces and blood on walls, no toilet paper, and no fresh air, amid staff shortages. It links MDC in New York and SBF's bail case to broader debate on incarceration, reforms, and safety.

Qualified immunity remains an issue in prison murder case
George Will argues the Fourth Circuit protected prison officials from liability after Jacob Philip and Wee Simmons murdered four inmates in 2017. He says the ruling fails to recognize deliberate indifference as a constitutional violation and warns that qualified immunity enables lethal neglect in failing to protect prisoners. King’s family seeks accountability, while the court cites no clearly established right to proper security checks. Will urges readers to consider how judges enable governmental malfeasance when protection of inmates is weak.
