Discuss the federal court case of Morris v. Travisono (1970). How did the ruling impact correctional systems?
What will be an ideal response?
The first federal court ruling was that a state must design and implement a classification system. In this case, inmates of the Adult Correctional Institutions (ACI) system brought allegations against Rhode Island prison authorities in a class action lawsuit for alleged violations of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution. This case resulted in a detailed set of procedures for classifying prisoners that was overseen by the federal court system.
