Puzzles of Prisoners and Rights: An Essay in Honor of Frank Johnson
Resnik, Judith
Resnik, Judith
Abstract
Frank Johnson's landmark opinions in the 1970s recognized prisoners as rights-holders who were entitled to safety, sanitary conditions, health care, actMies, and fair decision-making. In 2020, we take these propositions or granted, just as we also take for granted the power of prisoners to seek-and sometimes to in-judicial help in stopping the state from imposing certain forms of punishment on people convicted of crimes.
