i'm still here at lovely santa rosa, main unit, here in milton, florida. it's not exactly the best place in the world to be, so i would not advise anyone out there coming in -- i know i have a lot of regrets. the food here is horrible. so is the daily schedule. it's pretty boring. i work in laundry here, five days a week, monday through friday. i'm a sewing machine operator. nothing too glamorous about it. >> santa rosa's laundry plant is a sea of blues and whites. sheets and blankets. about 60 loads of laundry gets washed, dried and folded here every workday. the inmates who shoulder the burden put in eight hours, just like a job on the outside. and should one of them ever tire of the job, there are plenty of others eager to replace them. >> i get about 70 to 80 work requests, i want to work in the laundry, a week. of course, we're only authorized 18, so. it's a highly coveted job and position here at santa rosa. they're not getting paid. they get game time for their pay, but they like working here. it's a good atmosphere, a good environment. we attempt t

their decision ought to have been to leave it to florida. and they have left every election before and since. and as i hope they continue to do. >> charlie: this is painful for you. is it? a little bit? >> well, it is a little bit. i think the supreme court, for any lawyer and particularly any lawyer who believes in the advancement of civil rights is essential institution. it is the institution that has been most responsible over my lifetime for expanding the rights of people who have had their rights limited far too much, far too long in this country. so whenever the supreme court does something that i think undermines its credibility to some extent, i think that's painful. i think it's particularly painful when you feel that the hydraulics of outside events are influencing it. and particularly when you think that there is a partisan divide that is influencing what's happening. so i think for all of those reasons, it was a very, very disappointing decision. i think in retrospect looking back and getting a sense of how much a difference it m

and interestingly, beginning with the florida seminoles, the florida seminoles were the first to come up with unregulated indian gaming. and what that meant was that as other tribes saw them, in particular those of connecticut, then they actually traveled to florida to see and to watch and to learn from the seminoles how did you guys do that in starting an end can gaming operation which was actually bingo at the time. well, they took these ideas and suggestions back to connecticut, became a recognized tribe, obtained trust land which was the former reservation, had it put into trust status and then began to build a gaming operation which has since developed into foxwoods, the largest gaming operation in the byer world. entire world. so from that you have other tribes imitating and using the example of the florida seminoles in foxwoods, and you have something what you see behind me, is a tribal casino. now, the interesting part of this is in rebuilding of indian nations is that most tribes who enter indian gaming operations do not succeed. in fact, about 20% of those who go into the in

in 28 counties in florida 77 percent people pled guilty. many after arrest can spend months in jail. this is becoming more and more evident as prosecutors raise the stakes. we have seen more crimes increase in terms of severity. as a result of this more cases are settling through plea bargains but not necessarily because they are guilty but they have no choice. they are often handled by poorly paid inexperienced lawyers. very rarely are new trials granted. even here in san francisco we have struggled to fill three investigators positions for the last six months and we have hundreds of cases that need the attention of an investigator. so today we are going to study the aftermath of gideon and discuss what has to happen in order to fix it. i want to thank everyone who has made today so possible, all of you for being here. i want to thank or sponsors, kicker and van ness and jim and douglas and maratel and investigations. i would like to thank all the volunteers who made this possible. kathy, angela and everyone else who helped out today. i wa

melissa: does it go beyond florida? massachusetts, is it similar, not exactly the same, but can it catch on around the country, and what about the retroactive part for those divorced, going back in, how would that work? >> well, i think it's definitely something that catches on throughout the country and should catch on throughout the country. i think what this does is when you set the basis for the alimony at half the term of the marriage, it encourages that spouse, not the income earning spouse, to go improve their education and improve their position opposed to getting alimony for the rest of their life. in terms of whether or not other states opt out, absolutely, i think they should. melissa: what about the retroactive thing? should you be afraid if you are out there now receiving alimony that it's going to be taken away? >> no, i don't think you should be afraid it's going to be taken away. i think it's giving the judges the discretion to go back to look at the retroactivity of the alimony payments and make a decis
