Jerome Rosenberg

Jerome Rosenberg identified himself by his full name and the alias Jerry the Jew in February 1972 WBAI interviews at Attica. An incarcerated jailhouse lawyer, he described destruction of his legal work and fifteen days of cell confinement for assisting another prisoner, followed by retaliatory beatings and twenty-four-hour segregation after the September 1971 uprising. He also described civil-rights litigation for an unnamed prisoner denied treatment. The interviews establish sustained imprisonment and claimed retaliation for legal advocacy, not that his underlying conviction was politically motivated. His original arrest, sentence, final release and total custody duration remain unknown. Source: https://freedomarchives.org/Documents/Finder/DOC510_scans/Prisons_Attica/510.we.are.attica.pdf#page=13

The September 1972 Liberated Guardian reports that Jerry Rosenberg won $7,500 from the policeman who arrested him for prejudicial statements made before his trial. It says he planned an October suit against five other policemen, had obtained a law degree through correspondence, belonged to the National Lawyers Guild and had helped with thirty-nine cases. The contemplated additional suit is not a completed judgment. Source: https://freedomarchives.org/Documents/Finder/DOC510_scans/Attica/510.liberated.guardian.September1972.pdf#page=4
