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 4 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[I]t is discretionary with the administration of the state prison who shall be assigned to a job receiving two-for-one time under A.R.S. § 31-252; there is no absolute right to work at a position of confidence and trust in the prison, (citation omitted). Clearly, a prisoner under “mandatory release” via A.R.S. § 31-411 has not been placed in a “position of trust or confidence.” The statute by its own terms is mandatory, and does not allow the Department of Corrections any discretion as to which prisoners shall be released for the 180-day period.”
