Isolation is one of many problems clients face while locked up in jail awaiting trial. Other common conditions of pretrial confinement include lack of mental health treatment, inadequate medical care, violence from corrections staff, and lack of protection from the violence of others. "Owing time", a recently dismantled practice, is just one example of jails' frivolous use of extreme isolation practices. At times, youth in the juvenile facility at Rikers were …

Coleman V. Tollefson: Brief Amici Curiae Of Thirty-Three Professors In Support Of Petitioner, Margo Schlanger 2014 University of Michigan Law School

Coleman V. Tollefson: Brief Amici Curiae Of Thirty-Three Professors In Support Of Petitioner, Margo Schlanger

Appellate Briefs

Amici are professors with an academic interest in prisoner litigation and federal courts

Reversing the Sixth Circuit's contrary reading of the statute in this case will not open the floodgates to frivolous prisoner litigation, as both the provisions of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA) and data from the Federal Judicial Center confirm.
