Working knowledge of the law

  Every prison has one or more inmates that have a working knowledge of the law. They are called Jailhouse Lawyers. They are restricted in some items that they are allowed to do. They cannot be paid, have access to some legal material and cannot represent their “client” in court. Do you think that they should be allowed to do some or all of these items? Please explain why or why not. Back up your opinion with information and examples.
