The Life Support Project assists capital defense teams in working with difficult clients, who are reluctant to have mitigation investigated, reluctant to seek life sentences, or reluctant to take plea bargains for sentences less than death.  Created in 2008, staffed by Wilbert Rideau and other carefully selected people -- all of whom have made meaningful lives serving time in prison – the project has since succeeded in helping clients choose life paths in most of the cases in which it has been involved.
