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 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The fact that the Bureau of Prisons may view or label a transfer ... as a “treatment program” for the prisoner’s benefit rather than as a sanction or as some form of punishment is not a relevant factor in the determination of the due process question involved. The relevant consideration under the Supreme Court’s standards articulated in Wolff v. Me-Donnell is whether, on the facts, the transfer to a behavioral modification program involves a major change in the conditions of the prisoner’s confinement.”
