Prisoners, Lawyers, and Judges Sample Clauses

Prisoners, Lawyers, and Judges in an Era of Mass In- carceration The challenge facing states in this decade was a complicated one: how to balance changing attitudes toward criminalization and prisons with the very real constraint of outdated facilities too small to hold a burgeoning prison population. For a time, states experimented with simply making do with whatever resources they had. The practice of double- or triple-celling, housing two to three prisoners in a cell meant for one, became the most common tactic used by state and local governments to accommodate the ever-increasing number of individuals entering the corrections system (Xxxxxx and Xxxxx 2000). Lawsuits against this practice, as well as continuing fights for other liberties such as healthcare and food grew even higher in number as prisons exceeded their capacities. Figure 3.2 shows the growth of these lawsuits beginning in the early 1980s, emblematic of a vast increase in the number of prisoners filing lawsuits.
