Stephen Bright is trading in running the Southern Center for Human Rights so he can focus more on full-time lawyering for the prison rights group and his teaching of a capital-punishment course at Yale. As a new movie comes out with a chronicle of the efforts of Bright and other Southern Center lawyers to save death row clients, Bright reflects on 24 years of suing jails -- for a salary of less than $40,000 a year -- and vows to stop "only if all the injustices have been corrected."

“Fighting for Life in the Death Belt,” a movie that was scheduled to premiere in Atlanta on Friday night, is an inside look at the efforts of Stephen B. Bright and other lawyers at the Southern Center for Human Rights to save the lives of two clients on death row.
Bright ran the public interest law firm for 23 years until staff attorney Lisa L. Kung took over as director in January to free him up for full-time lawyering and part-time teaching.
