Brown keeps up the fight

Jailed Hall of Famer refuses to back down

By MIKE FREEMAN New York Times

Sunday, March 31, 2002

Jim Brown is on the telephone from Ventura County Jail in California, and the sense of irony does not escape him. Normally when Brown, a Hall of Fame running back, steps into a prison, he is counseling inmates, preparing them for the day their sentences end and they attempt to become functioning members of society. Now, Brown is not an adviser who will stay for a few hours, then depart. He is locked up in a cell the size of a walk-in closet. The teacher has become a prisoner.
