Constitutional law quarterly

In the United States of America, Prisoner Law refers to litigation that determines the freedoms that a prisoner either holds or loses when they are incarcerated.
This includes the end of the Hands- Off Doctrine and the ability to be protected by the First, Fourth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
Furthermore, prisoner laws regulate the ways in which individuals experience privacy in a prison setting.
Important case laws have arisen through time that have either hindered or protected prisoners from certain rights.
Some include the Hudson v.
Palmer case which held that prisoners were not protected against searches and seizures of their prison cells and Wolff v.
McDonnell that stated that prisoners shall remain entitled to some of their constitutional rights even after being incarcerated.
