Description

In this age of American mass incarceration, a complex legal regime governs prison and jail conditions and presents a host of controversial questions at the intersection of constitutional liberty, statutory interpretation, administrative regulation, and public policy. This leading casebook about incarceration addresses both pretrial and post-conviction incarceration, presenting Supreme Court and notable 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, criminal prosecution of prison staff) are also covered, as are prisoner voting rights and non-litigation oversight. The 10th edition was a complete revamp; the 11th edition brings the new approach up to date, including by addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump Administration innovations, and state constitutional law.
