Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • concluding that prison officials reasonably believed that the defendant stabbed his fellow inmate based upon an eyewitness account
  • holding that prisoners have a decreased expectation of privacy and the government is not required to obtain a warrant or establish probable cause to conduct searches and seizures of inmates as long as the searches and seizures are reasonable
  • inmates retain a diminished expectation of privacy such that warrantless searches and seizures of an inmate's hair, blood, or fingerprints are not unreasonable where the inmate has been implicated in the commission of a crime
