How courts have described this case

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

• holding exhaustion unnecessary as to complaint directed against internal prison discipline
• reversing much of the lower court decision [Sostre v. Rockefeller, D.C., 312 F.Supp. 863], but explicitly broadening the right of a prisoner to possess “constitutionally protected literature”
• upholding finding of liability for sending inmate to segregated housing in retaliation, in part, for inmate’s past litigation against prison officials and inmate’s threat to sue over censorship of his correspondence
• finding diets of 2,800 to 3,300 5 calories per day constitutionally adequate
• prisoner found to have been committed to segregation to squelch threat to sue warden over censorship of the prisoner’s mail
• “It is undisputed on this appeal that segregated confinement does not itself violate the Constitution.”
