7th Circuit affirms solitary confinement; cautions against it

Dave Stafford for www.theindianalawyer.com

An Indiana inmate’s 30-day stint in solitary confinement at the Miami Correctional facility didn’t violate his civil rights, the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday. But the panel cautioned judges and prison officials against wide use of the practice.

Judge Richard Posner wrote for the panel that affirmed Judge James T. Moody’s dismissal of Shane Kervin’s  42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit alleging that as a prisoner, his rights were violated when he was placed in solitary confinement and denied privileges as punishment for complaining about a delay in being allowed to see his attorney.

The District Court ruled, however, that Kervin’s backtalk to guards was the basis for his punishment. Because this is not constitutionally protected speech in a correctional facility, the 7th Circuit wrote that his placement in solitary was neither “atypical,” “significant,” nor “a dramatic departure from the basic conditions” of his sentence as required for inmate civil rights claims under Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 484-85 (1995).

Kervin “was placed in segregation for at most 30 days and, more importantly, does not allege that he suffered any significant psychological or other injury from it,” Posner wrote. “So the judge was right to dismiss his suit. But we take this opportunity to remind both prison officials and judges to be alert for the potentially serious adverse consequences of protracted segregation as punishment for misbehavior in prison, especially the kind of nonviolent misbehavior involved in the present case.”

The panel cited research on “the serious psychological consequences of such quasi-solitary imprisonment,” including a recent article in the Indiana Law Review.

Along with being placed in solitary, Kervin’s commissary and phone privileges also were suspended. While affirming dismissal of Kervin’s suit, the panel wrote Moody had made two inconsequential errors – evaluating the gravity of each punishment separately rather than in their totality and suggesting that a prisoner must spend six months in segregation before he may complain of being deprived liberty without due process.

“Six months is not an apt presumptive minimum for establishing a violation,” Posner wrote. “Judges who lean toward such a presumption may be unfamiliar with the nature of modern prison segregation and the psychological damage that it can inflict.”

IS IT TRUE we hear that At-Large City Councilman Jonathan Weaver is now employed by Tucker Realty?  …Tucker Realty now have two (2) City Council members working for them?  …all we can say about this is “interesting”?

IS IT TRUE  we hear that City of Evansville  self insured  health  program pays about $25 million dollars a year to medical providers for 1500  city employees people?  … this figure averages to $17,000 for all full and part time city employees?  …this figure doesn’t take in consideration for the soon to be implemented “OBAMACARE” health care program?  …we wonder why part-time City Council members and their family  receive  health care insurance paid by the taxpayers of this City?  …we can’t wait too see what our readers feel about issue?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that a couple of candidates running for elected office in the upcoming General election are doing research on how many contracts the city is awarding to out of town consultants, vendors or contractors? …we can already predict the answers? …the answer is to many?

IS IT TRUE our Computer IT guy told us last week the reason why we are having computer issues is because we have 13,664 posts, 5,321 picture images, 72,167 comments and 84,931 spams posted on our site? …we are presently working on trashing the 84,931 spans posted on our site? …we also will be addressing other archive issues in order to speed up our website? …we thank you for your patience’s?

IS IT TRUE one of our Bloggers posted this the other day and we felt it was worth repeating in todays IIT section?  …he claims that the Alhambra is far too small to be a theatre presenting live theatre productions?  … he states It would be a great facility for the Arts Council and what better place for them then in the Arts District? … he even suggests that Civic Theatre would be interested in this small facility is laughable? … he said their present facility is many times larger then this building? … he claims this rather small bldg. was built for a neighborhood movie theatre not for live theatre.?  …he points out whoever thought to give this to the Arts Council is brilliant?  …he stresses that a perfect use for a building that has had far too much money put in it for restoration?  …past Director of Civic Theatre-Dick Engber says the present Alhambra Board of Directors should just do it?

IS IT TRUE we wonder why the City, DMD, State and Federal Agencies, past Alhambra Board of Directors and others didn’t do proper research concerning the best use for the Alhambra Theatre before raising many hundred of thousand of dollars to restore it to its grand state? …the restoration efforts have been remarkable, however, this building needs a purpose?  … letting this building sit idle will be allowing the building to deteriorate again?
