September 30, 2009 -- Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes (C2C) has teamed up with DJ Wheezy, an upcoming DJ, as well as Star Murphy to release the fifth installment of the Trill Skillz mixtape series. The most downloaded mixtape series in the world has lent their services to promote the mixtape online through their promotional avenues.

Born in Memphis, but currently residing in Nashville, TN, DJ Wheezy quickly raised Nashville's night life level to the extremes. Deejaying in Nashville's nightclub scene since December 2007, DJ Wheezy has made a true name for himself as one of Nashville's top Deejays in the short amount of time that he has been on the scene. After his first gig at a house party in December 2007 and making his first DJ performance in a club January 2008, DJ Wheezy knew that nightlife as a Club and Mixtape DJ was his lifestyle and passion to be. Having quick learning curves to moving up in the industry, he has already DJed for major artists and celebrities such as Young Buck, Black of Flavor of Love 3, Bootz of Flavor of Love, NFL's Dominique Rodgers-Chromartie, Kia Shine, Yo Gotti, Lil Boosie, Ace Hood, and Kinfolk Thugs, just to name a few. Moreover in the Nashville market and Tennessee area, he has broken records and artists such as West, Vonex, F.L.Y (Swag Surfin), Nino Blac, Semi, and Cash (Walk Wit A Dip).

In Addition DJ Wheezy, along with his business partners Star Murphy, DJ Tuk, and Mack Cox, started his own music/entertainment group called A-List Entertainment. A-List falls in the areas of DJ Services, parties, promotions, event planning, special events, and music production/engineering. Instead of just deejaying parties, DJ Wheezy throws his own parties and even puts together major events like TSU Homecoming, ATL Football Classic, John A. Merritt Classic, and the Southern Heritage Classic, just to name a few. Therefore, DJ Wheezy holds the same cards the club owner has when it comes to throwing parties.

DJ Wheezy is now a prominent member of the nationally known, most influential DTP DJs, Hustle Squad DJs, and Future Star DJs. Mixtape promotion and breaking new music and artists is not a problem with access to DJs all over the country. Despite his seemingly never-ending commitments, DJ Wheezy finds much joy in his new passion and continues to strive for more in the music industry.

Preserving the Rule of Law in America’s Prisons:...Amending the Prison Litigation Reform Act

Preserving the Rule of Law in America’s Jails and Prisons: The Case for Amending the Prison Litigation Reform Act
by Margo Schlanger and Giovanna Shay**

Prisons and jails pose a significant challenge to the rule of law within American boundaries. As a nation, we are committed to constitutional regulation of governmental treatment of even those who have broken society’s rules. And accordingly, many of our prisons and jails are run by dedicated professionals who care about prisoner welfare and constitutional compliance. At the same time, for prisons-closed institutions holding an ever-growing disempowered population-most of the methods by which we, as a polity, foster government accountability and equality among citizens are unavailable or at least not currently practiced. In the absence of other levers by which these ordinary norms can be encouraged, lawsuits, which bring judicial scrutiny behind bars, and which promote or even compel constitutional com-pliance, accordingly take on an outsize importance. Unfortunately, over the past twelve years, it has become apparent that a number of provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (“PLRA”)1 cast shadows of constitutional immunity, contra-vening our core commitment to constitutional governance. The PLRA’s obstacles to meritorious lawsuits are undermining the rule of law in our prisons and jails, granting the government near-impunity to violate the rights of prisoners without fear of consequences.

This damage to the rule of law in America’s prisons is occurring even as those prisons have grown in their impor-tance-both because of the nation’s increasing incarcerated population (the world’s largest) and the sharpening interna-tional focus on American treatment of prisoners, both domestically and abroad. Amendment is urgently needed. In recent months numerous advocates and organizations have urged reform.2 Indeed, a bill offered in the last Congress, the Prison Abuse Remedies Act of 2007, H.R. 4109, 110th Cong. (2008), would offer some moderate fixes to the most pressing problems created by the PLRA. In this Article, we discuss three of these problems. First, the PLRA’s ban on awards of compensatory damages for “mental or emotional injury suffered while in custody without a prior showing of physical injury” has obstructed judicial remediation of religious discrimination, coerced sex, and other constitutional violations typically unaccompanied by physical injury, undermining the regulatory regime that is supposed to prevent such abuses. Second, the PLRA’s provision barring federal lawsuits by prisoner plaintiffs who have failed to comply with their jails’ or prisons’ internal grievance procedures-no matter how difficult, futile, or dangerous such compliance might be for them-obstructs rather than promotes constitutional oversight of conditions of confinement. It strongly encourages prison and jail authori-ties to come up with ever-higher procedural hurdles in order to foreclose subsequent litigation. Third, the application of the PLRA’s limitations to juveniles incarcerated in juvenile institutions has rendered those institutions largely immune from judicial oversight because so few young people are able to follow the complex requirements imposed by the statute, and compliance by their parents or guardians on their behalf has been deemed legally insufficient. Each of these three prob-lems disrupts accountability and enforcement of constitutional compliance.....

Iran accounts for most juvenile executions

Iran has executed 26 juvenile offenders since the start of 2005, accounting for the vast majority of people under age 18 executed around the world, according to a report by Human Rights Watch.

The New York-based group said Iran was one of five countries known to have executed juveniles since January 2005. Saudi Arabia and Sudan each executed two juveniles, and Pakistan and Yemen, one.

"We are only five states away from a complete ban on the juvenile death penalty," said Clarisa Bencomo, Middle East children's rights researcher for Human Rights Watch. "These few holdouts should abandon this barbaric practice so that no one ever again is executed for a crime committed as a child."

The report said in Pakistan, Yemen and Sudan the execution of people under 18 was outlawed, but because birth registration levels were low young offenders can have trouble proving their age and are often treated as adults.

"In Iran and Saudi Arabia ... these sentences are the result of deliberate state policies to retain the juvenile death penalty, combined with criminal justice systems that fail to provide children with fundamental protections against unfair trials," the report said.

It said Iran executed eight juvenile offenders in 2007. So far in 2008, it executed at least six juvenile offenders and more than 130 others are under sentence of death, it said.

"Judges can impose the death penalty in capital cases if the defendant has attained 'majority,' defined in Iranian law as 9 years for girls and 15 years for boys," it said.

In Saudi Arabia, the report said judges have discretion to impose the death penalty on children from puberty or 15 years, whichever comes first. Two juveniles were among at least 158 people executed in 2007 in Saudi Arabia, it said.

"Even states that still execute juvenile offenders acknowledge that such executions are wrong," said Bencomo. "But changes in law and practice need to be faster."

Human Rights Watch called on U.N. member states to ask U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to issue a report on compliance with the international ban on the juvenile death penalty.

Strip-searched juveniles settle lawsuit

Alameda County has agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle a lawsuit filed by youths who said their civil rights were violated when they were strip-searched at Juvenile Hall after family visits and for minor offenses.

Under a settlement approved Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors, $2.8 million has been set aside for the 7,000 claims that are expected to be filed by youths who were strip-searched under certain conditions in the past several years, said the plaintiffs' attorney Mark Merin.

Depending on the circumstances, claimants could get from $300 to $2,500 for each incident, Merin said.

An additional $225,000 will be given to the three named plaintiffs who filed suit in U.S. District Court in San Francisco last year. All three said that they were subjected to group strip searches between 2003 and 2005 for misdemeanor offenses.

County officials could not be reached for comment.

Less than a month ago, the supervisors approved a $6.2 million settlement of a federal class-action suit involving illegal strip searches at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, which houses adults. In that suit, filed in January 2006, Daniel Schaffer said he was strip-searched after he was arrested for a traffic warrant.

"We're very pleased that the juvenile authorities have cut out strip-searches," Merin said Thursday. "They're no longer strip-searching kids routinely upon arrival at Juvenile Hall."

Merin said "the most bothersome thing" was the fact that youths were strip-searched - often in groups - immediately after family visits.

"So not only was it a discouragement to visit with your family, knowing this was going to happen afterward, it was particularly embarrassing because they had to expose themselves in front of their peers. I hope the message finally gets through to the penal institutions and Juvenile Hall that they have to be more respectful of their clientele."

The youths who filed suit "did, in fact, view the naked bodies of other juvenile detainees as they were required to expose their body cavities for visual inspection by defendants," the complaint said.

Merin said California law prohibits routinely strip-searching Juvenile Hall or jail inmates between the time of their arrest and their first bail hearing or adult arraignment, if the arrest was for a misdemeanor not involving violence or drugs.
