Correction

Loaded on Oct. 15, 1996 published in Prison Legal News October, 1996, page 8
Filed under: PLRA, Attorney Fees (PLRA). Location: United States of America.
In the July, 1996, issue of PLN we reported Prison Litigation Reform Act Passed. On page three we incorrectly stated that the PLRA limits attorney fees to $40 an hour for out of court work. The PLRA limits attorney fee recovery to 150% of the amount set in 18 U.S.C. § 3006A. So the actual amount would be $62.50 for out of court work. We apologize for the error and thank alert reader Stephen Pevar for bringing it to our attention.
