Prisoner media access upheld by panel in California case
A three judge federal panel ruled California prison rules blocking interviews with inmates unconstitutional while rejecting a blanket right for newsmen to interview specific prisoners. The decision requires the corrections department to revise the rule and allow interviews at the earliest practical time under supervised conditions. It cites prior rulings that the press has no absolute right to access sources beyond the general public.
