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 42 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[F]oreclosing [the defendant] from the mere opportunity to earn good time credits is not a new penalty, but only the withholding of a benefit that the [Department of Corrections] is under no obligation to give.”
3 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“four factors to consider in determining whether a prison regulation is reasonable, and therefore valid, despite its impingement upon an inmate’s constitutional right: (1) the regulation must have a logical connection to a legitimate governmental interest; (2) whether an inmate has an alternative means of exercising the right; (3) what impact accommodation of the right would have on guards, other inmates, and the general allocation of resources; and (4) whether there are obvious alternatives that would accommodate the inmate’s right at a de minimis cost.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the concurrence“Mr. Searcy’s lost privileges and lost opportunity to earn future good time credits are quite simply not the result of his refusal to incriminate himself, but are a consequence of his inability to complete rehabilitation the KDOC has determined — in light of the serious offense for which Mr. Searcy was convicted — is in the best interest for Mr. Searcy and society.”
