Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The WDOC, in order to protect inmates and volunteers, and maintain security of the facility, conducts criminal background checks and maintains updated contact information for each volunteer. Volunteers are also required to complete orientation and training related to safety and security issues such as emergency response conditions, facility evacuation, and learning the primary rules and lines of authority. Plaintiff argues there is no compelling safety and security interest in requiring ministers to complete a new application and go through the entire approval process each and every year. However, prison officials need not wait for a problem to arise before taking steps to minimize security risks. The requirement that each volunteer provide current contact information before being admitted to a WDOC facility is an appropriate proactive approach to ensuring facility safety and security and is the least restrictive means for doing so.”
