Sinopsis

This book illuminates the decision-making processes of the US Supreme court through an examination of several prisonersâÇÖ rights cases. In 1964, the Supreme Court declined to hear prisonersâÇÖ claims about religious freedom. In 2014, the Supreme Court heard a case that led to the justicesâÇÖ unanimous endorsement of a Muslim prisonerâÇÖs religious right to grow a beard despite objections from prison officials. In the fifty-year span between those two events, the Supreme Court developed the law concerning rights for imprisoned offenders. As demonstrated in this book, the factors that shape Supreme Court decision making are well-illustrated by prisonersâÇÖ rights cases. This area of law illuminates competing approaches to constitutional interpretation, behind-the-scenes interactions among the justices, and the manipulation of legal precedents. External actors also affect the Supreme Court and its decisions when the president appoints new justices and Congress targets the judiciary with legislative enactments. Because of the controversial nature of prisonersâÇÖ rights issues, these cases serve to illuminate the full array of influences over Supreme Court decision making.áá á áá
