The hands-off doctrine is a policy of nonintervention with regard to prison management that U.S. courts tended to follow until the late 1960s. The doctrine has undergone dramatic changes over time. For example, there was a long period of history where courts intervened very little in prison affairs. In the early 1970s, courts took a much more activist role, and significant case law was established. It appears, however, that courts are increasingly taking a step back from these cases, and there is some evidence that leads to the conclusion that courts might again adopt a strict hands-off policy.
