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 15 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(2) A resident shall be afforded an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to R 791.-3315 before being classified to administrative segregation; however, a resident may be temporarily held in segregation status pending a hearing upon order of the institutional head, or at the resident’s request. This temporary period may not exceed 4 weekdays. (3) A resident classified to administrative segregation shall be interviewed and have his or her security status reviewed at least monthly. This review shall be written, and a copy shall be given to the resident and to the security classification committee. The interviewers may initiate a request for security reclassification at any time that it appears that administrative segregation is no longer required in light of all of the following: (a) The resident’s behavior and attitude in segregation. (b) Reappraisal of the circumstances necessitating segregation. (c) An evaluation of the resident’s potential for honoring the trust implicit in a less restrictive status.”
