Mississippi Juvenile Justice Reform Briefing Book
The Mississippi Juvenile Justice Reform Briefing Book documents the severely abusive and wasteful nature of Mississippi's current juvenile justice system and proposes reforms that help troubled youth and save taxpayer money. The Briefing Book was distributed to Mississippi legislators at the opening of the 2005 session.
The Briefing Book was written, designed and produced by the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of our work with the Mississippi Coalition to Prevent Schoolhouse to Jailhouse. The Coalition is a statewide group of education, community, legal and public policy groups dedicated to protecting Mississippi's children — the state's most valuable resource.

Drawing the Line
If you care about fair elections – if you want to make sure your voice is heard – get involved in the redistricting process.
Those who draw the district lines get to decide who is in each district, what elections the people in each district get to vote in, and what group will control those elections for years to come.
Created by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Drawing the Line explains the redistricting process and provides tools and techniques that can help you become a force for equity in your community, in your state and in the nation.

Courtroom Victories
"Courtroom Victories", first published in the February 1995 issue of Trial, a publication of the American Trial Lawyers Association, shares some of the Southern Poverty Law Center's strategies for reducing hate crimes and hate activities by pursuing civil remedies for the victims.
Since 1979, the SPLC has shut down some of the nation's largest white supremacist organizations by helping victims of racist violence sue for monetary damages.
While the groups usually don't have much money, the judgments effectively put them out of business. These courtroom victories were funded entirely by SPLC supporters; the SPLC accepts no legal fees from clients.
