Maxwell Karsor

Maxwell Karsor is the Stipendiary Magistrate of the Salala Magisterial Court in Liberia, where he has raised concerns about the abandonment of court cases by complainants as a significant contributor to the overcrowding of prison facilities. His observations highlight how many individuals misuse the legal system, leading to prolonged pretrial detentions and overcrowded prisons, with nearly two-thirds of Liberia's prison population consisting of pretrial detainees. Karsor advocates for improved legal literacy and better case management practices to address these systemic issues within the Liberian justice system.
