As you may remember, Albert's first hearing seeking to bring an end to the inhumane, abusive, and illegal routine strip searches he is subjected to daily was postponed. Now, after months of legal wrangling, next Wednesday, November 13th at 9:30am he finally has his day back in Court before Judge Brady in the Louisiana Middle District Court in Baton Rouge. Albert will be present and will testify. The hearing is open to the public and supporters are encouraged to attend.
