FAQ
Prisoners' rights have four legal foundations: the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, states constitutions, and state statutes. It is important to remember that constitutional rights are not absolute.
Additionally, prisoners retain some other Constitutional rights, including due process in their right to administrative appeals, freedom of religion, equal protection under the law (at least, as compared to other inmates), and a right of access to the parole process.
Some of the basic rights inmates have include: The right to humane conditions.The right to adequate mental health and medical care.The right to nutrition.Freedom from discrimination and sexual harassment. The protection against the use of excessive force and assault, including sexual assault.
The Supreme Court's 1984 decision in Hudson v. Palmer eliminates all fourth amendment safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures in prison inmates' cells, thus becoming another step toward granting almost total discretion to corrections officials.
The eighth amendment provides prisoners with limited rights of protection against cruel and unusual punishment during the course of confinement. These rights extend to the existence of humane living conditions, adequate medical care, and protection from violence by other inmates.
The right of access to the courts is the most important of all prisoners' rights. Civil rights suits filed under Section 1983 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 have served as the main way for inmates to enforce their constitutional rights.
Section 1983 allows defendants to be found liable only when they have acted ?under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State or Territory or the District of Columbia.? 42 U.S.C.
The Supreme Court in Cooper v. Pate, 378 U.S. 546 (1964), decided that the Bill of Rights applied inside prisons, and that, in this particular case, authorities had erred in denying religious publications and texts to an inmate.
