Judge Upholds Inmate Hearing Rights in Segregation
UPI reports U.S. District Judge James Holden ruled inmates are entitled to full hearings before administrative segregation. He said segregation itself is not a constitutional violation but due process requires a hearing, with periodic reviews to guard against punitive confinement. The ruling follows Louis Bowers of Windsor State Prison challenging his own segregation after a break by eight prisoners. The decision marks a victory for prisoners and a setback for the Corrections Department.
