Tiggerrific (talk) 16:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC) What about the rights pertaining to religous mail that you send that is ran off the internet.?[reply]

Untitled[edit]

I know they have to scan or go through this, but do they have th right to keep it and not give it

to an inmate. And the bible, Can they take that away and not give it back for days or weeks on end? Also, this is a basement jail under the courthouse and the inmates are never taken out for fresh air ever. Is that a violation of thier rights? Some has not seen daylight in three years or more. I need answers to questions of the rights of inmates. Tiggerrific (talk) 16:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This needs work[edit]

Jeez does this article need some work. There are literally no sources and the article gives very little background on the rights that are allegedly revoked for prisoners and the legal ground on which prisons stand to revoke those rights. Also, some of these are highly dubious. For example, this article claims that a prisoner's right to due process, to equal protection, to be notified of charges against you, and from cruel and unusual punishment can be suspended. Perhaps this is true for prisoners of war (maybe?) but I can't imagine its true for conventional prisoners in the US. These things should be qualified appropriately.

I made some edits that are mostly formatting and wording improvement. Things that weren't quotes were in block quotes, dashes were being used instead of standard bullet points, things were repeated, sometimes with what sounded like bias. Fresheneesz (talk) 01:38, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
