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 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The inmate's] life is put in danger by his incarceration in the Arkansas general prison population and that [the inmate] has established the right to serve the remainder of his sentence in an institution outside of Arkansas where he will have the same privileges and obligations as other prisoners, but without facing the undue risks and fear for his safety. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the district court denying [the inmate's] section 1983 claim. We remand this case to the district court for entry of an order in conformity of this opinion directing [the warden] to arrange without undue delay for the transfer of [the inmate] to a place of incarceration outside of Arkansas, either in a federal or other state's correctional institution.”
