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 33 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Because the conditions imposed on [the detainee] during the eight days of his segregated confinement were “reasonably related to [the] legitimate governmental objective” of aborting his escape and insuring his presence at trial, segregation did not, under the circumstances, amount to unconstitutional “punishment.” Because it did not amount to punishment, the [detainee’s] placement in segregated confinement did not, in and of itself, violate principles of due process as applied in the context of pre-trial detention.” Id. at 294 (citations omitted).”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“There is, however, nothing in the record to lend support to the presumption that [the detainee] was barred from discussing his segregated confinement — and the legal implications thereof — with his appointed attorney. The availability of counsel during [the detainee’s] period of pre-trial confinement, coupled with the jailers’ unrebutted assertion that they provided inmates with legal materials upon request, defeats [the detainee’s] access to courts claim. Id.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“[The detainee] was not subjected to “discipline” for violation of a prison rule. Rather, he was reasonably placed in segregated confinement for what amounted to purely administrative reasons — reasons anchored in a desire to foil his escape, thereby preserving institutional security and insuring [the detainee’s] presence at trial. Id. at 294-95.”
