Book excerpt: In the age of American mass incarceration, a complex legal regime governs prison conditions and presents a host of controversial questions at the intersection of constitutional liberty, statutory interpretation, administrative regulation, and public policy. This is a completely overhauled, re-titled, and much-expanded version of the leading casebook about incarceration. It addresses both pretrial and post-conviction incarceration, presenting Supreme Court and leading lower court case law, statutes, litigation materials, professional standards, academic commentary, and prisoner writing. Topics include conditions of confinement, civil liberties, particular prisoner populations and relevant legal issues (race and national origin discrimination, the particular issues/law governing treatment of incarcerated women, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities). Litigated remedies (injunctive litigation, damages, the Prison Litigation Reform Act, and criminal prosecution of prison staff), are also covered in detail, as is non-litigation oversight. The casebook is supplemented by an open-access website that offers additional resources and sources for further reading.

Book Synopsis Constitutional Rights of Prisoners by : Edwin Powers
Download or read book Constitutional Rights of Prisoners written by Edwin Powers and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After examining the changing role of the Federal courts in moving from a 'hands-off' policy with respect to prison administration to one of intervention, the constitutional rights of prisoners are explained under the principles of first amendment rights, due process of law, cruel and unusual punishment, equal protection of the laws, unreasonable searches and seizures, and slavery and involuntary servitude. Fifteen representative excerpts from Federal court opinions illustrate the relationship between enforceable constitutional rights and the administrative management of penal institutions, giving a general preview of how courts view the balance between what the Constitution may have intended and what prison administrators have in their discretion provided or withheld : The excerpts mirror the types of deliberations recorded by the Federal judiciary in the 1970's when confronted by litigation pertaining to the constitutional rights of prisoners. A section is then devoted to judicial opinions on alleged unconstitutional conditions and practices in U.S. jails and prisons. The issues covered are access to the courts, rehabilitation, pretrial detainees, visiting privileges, disciplinary hearings, religion, medical treatment, intrastate transfers, transfers to segregation, and interstate transfers. Additional issues include open-cell policy in isolation, cell size and 'double celling, ' punitive isolation, assaults by prisoners or staff, protective custody, mail rights, prisoners' labor unions, totality of conditions, prison staffs, Civil Rights Act, and escapes. The appendixes provide abbreviations and definitions, a table of cases, a consent decree, an extensive annotated bibliography, standards, and related constitutional amendments.

Book Synopsis Life Imprisonment and Human Rights by : Dirk van Zyl Smit
Download or read book Life Imprisonment and Human Rights written by Dirk van Zyl Smit and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many jurisdictions today, life imprisonment is the most severe penalty that can be imposed. Despite this, it is a relatively under-researched form of punishment and no meaningful attempt has been made to understand its full human rights implications. This important collection fills that gap by addressing these two key questions: what is life imprisonment and what human rights are relevant to it? These questions are explored from the perspective of a range of jurisdictions, in essays that draw on both empirical and doctrinal research. Under the editorship of two leading scholars in the field, this innovative and important work will be a landmark publication in the field of penal studies and human rights.

Book Synopsis Prisoners' Rights by : John A. Fliter
Download or read book Prisoners' Rights written by John A. Fliter and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2001 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prisoners' rights is an area of constitutional law that is often overlooked. Combining an historical and strategic analysis, this study describes the doctrinal development of the constitutional rights of prisoners from the pre-Warren Court period through the current Rehnquist Court. Like many provisions in the Bill of Rights, the meaning of the Eighth Amendment's language on cruel and unusual punishment and the scope of prisoners' rights have been influenced by prevailing public opinion, interest group advocacy, and—most importantly—the ideological values of the nine individuals who sit on the Supreme Court. These variables are incorporated in a strategic analysis of judicial decision making in an attempt to understand the constitutional development of rights in this area. Fliter examines dozens of cases spanning 50 years and provides a systematic analysis of strategic interaction on the Supreme Court. His results support the notion that justices do not simply vote their policy preferences; some seek to influence their colleagues and the broader legal community. In many cases there was evidence of strategic interaction in the form of voting fluidity, substantive opinion revisions, dissents from denial of certiorari, and lobbying to form a majority coalition. The analysis reaches beyond death penalty cases and includes noncapital cases arising under the Eighth Amendment, habeas corpus petitions, conditions of confinement cases, and due process claims.
Book Synopsis Reform and Regret by : Larry W. Yackle
Download or read book Reform and Regret written by Larry W. Yackle and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1989-04-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the deplorable conditions in Alabama's prisons were revealed at trial in 1975, Judge Frank Johnson declared the prison system as a whole to constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment. He then issued an elaborate decree specifying improvements that must be made to satisfy constitutional standards. In this study, Larry W. Yackle describes the campaign to achieve prison reform in Alabama through constitutional litigation in the federal courts and surveys the process that produced Johnson's decree, and subsequent efforts to enforce his order in the face of bureaucratic inertia, administrative incompetence, and political demagogy. A decade later, the prisons showed significant physical improvements, but Alabama's resistance to progressive penal policies remained intact and impeded lasting change. Covering the lawyers' strategies, Judge Johnson's creative actions, and the machinations of state and federal officials including the Department of Justice under President Ronald Reagan, this book conveys the frustrating yet effective effort at prison litigation and offers important lessons for other proponents of penal reform across the country.
