The act aims to reduce frivolous inmate lawsuits, but prisoner advocates contend it hurts poor inmates by taking away their rights to waive court costs by filing as paupers. They want everyone incarcerated, but they don't want to hear about the cost. And they don't want to hear that they're not being treated humanely. To any extent there's any voice left at all, it's through the few law offices that continue to push and the media that are willing to ask deeper questions. Commissioner Haley waved aside the concerns of prisoner advocates.
