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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) whether a valid, rational connection exists between the regulation and a legitimate government interest behind the rule; (2) whether there are alternative means of exercising the right in question that remain available to prisoners; (3) the impact accommodation of the asserted constitutional right would have on guards and other inmates and the allocation of prison resources; and (4) although the regulation need not satisfy the least restrictive alternative test, the existence of obvious, easy alternatives may be evidence that the regulation is not reasonable.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Faver v. Bayh“Interest accrues on the funds deposited in trust, and it is the trust that has a legal right to the accrued interest, not the inmate. In trust terms, DOC is the trustee of these personal funds and the plaintiffs are the beneficiaries. Thus, upon their release, the plaintiffs will received the corpus, that is, the amount on deposit in their personal accounts. As beneficiaries, they have no legal right to the accrued interest since all income accruing in the trust shall subsequently be transferred to the Inmates' Recreation Fund”
