Which four factors contributed to an increase in the use of courts to resolve complaints by prisoners?

What will be an ideal response?

The number of inmates increased over this same time frame, suggesting that the rate of inmate complaints per total number of inmates did not increase at the same degree as the number of complaints. Across the United States, a general culture supporting the use of civil courts to resolve disputes was manifested over this time frame.
