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 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“While the Constitution authorizes forfeiture of some rights of convicts, it does not authorize treatment of an unconvicted person . . . as a convict. . . . " 12 During the plaintiff's initial incarceration at the Delaware County prison, he was incarcerated in a cell block separate from the cell block where inmates of the general prison population were incarcerated (131a). He had no library privileges, nor did he have any medical treatment (132a & 134a). After the preliminary hearing of February 3, 1970, the plaintiff was locked in his cell for a period of 24 hours per day (135a-136a). This segregation resulted from the filing of charges of attempting to break prison and escape and the establishment of the prima facie case against him at the preliminary hearing (128a, 131a, 135a-136a). During this period of incarceration, February 4, 1970, until February 10, 1970, Tyrrell was not permitted to exercise, and took all of his meals in his cell (128a-136a). He was not permitted the opportunity to attend Chapel, nor was he permitted to talk with the other inmates (128a-136a). During plaintiff's entire confinement at Delaware County prison, he was not permitted to go to school nor participate in any of the programs established for the rehabilitation of prisoners at that prison (131a) 13 On this record, we can find no reason to remand the case to the district court on the remote possibility that the trial judge meant "compensatory”
