Jm. Riewe, THE LEAST AMONG US - UNCONSTITUTIONAL CHANGES IN PRISONER LITIGATION UNDER THE PRISON LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995, Duke law journal, 47(1), 1997, pp. 117-160
I don't like prisoners. Nobody pretends to like them, but every once i
n a while, one of these people is right. And a society is judged by ho
w it treats the least among it, not the best. I'm not worried about ho
w presidents of banks and chairmen of the board and of country clubs a
re treated, or star quarterbacks, or other prima donnas. The job of th
e Constitution is to make sure that everyone is treated properly. [Pri
soners] fall[] into the everybody category.
