Law professor Erica Eisinger is quoted in a story about a federal court decision in a suit by female prison inmates claiming sexual harassment and gender discrimination. The suit claims a 2000 amendment to a civil rights act denying prisoners protection against racial, sexual or religious discrimination is unconstitutional. Eisinger, an expert on civil rights litigation, said she doubts legislators' justification for the change. "I think the ulterior motive was to punish prisoners," she said.
