Can you provide a usage of this that's not invented by you? I checked out dictionary.com and found these: 1. a person who is confined in prison or kept in custody, esp. as the result of legal process. 2. prisoner of war. 3. a person or thing that is deprived of liberty or kept in restraint. Is Penn actually making their students "prisoners" without going through the court system? If they're doing this, I think you should be dialing the ACLU, not wasting time posting here. >Whether or not UCD is guilty of 5 >years or more of illegal activity, or one illegal "mistake," the issue of >UCD credibility is different than the issues of a criminal trial. Let me also quote your previous email "...nothing about this illegal action and cover-up..." "Illegal" which to me suggests that there has, would, or should be a criminal trial. What has UCD done exactly here that's been proven illegal in a court of law? I'm missing that one. All I heard was an allegation. Now, if you get Lewis convicted of an "illegal action" you can offer him community service instead of jail time. But until then, I think it's probably just libel.
