Abstract: | This paper looks at the vast array of lawsuits filed by jail inmates challenging the conditions of their confinement. While
much attention has been focused on prison reform litigation, many of the nation's jails have been subject to civil rights
lawsuits, and many are now operating under some form of court order.
An earlier version of this paper was presented at the annual meeting of the Southern Criminal Justice Association, October
7–9, 1987, Birmingham, AL. |
