Abstract
This article reviews the history of prisoners' rights with a focus on mental health treatment. The most common method of lawsuit, "1983 claims," will be explained, along with legislation designed to counter the flood of prisoner claims that started in the 1960s. Relevant landmark cases will be reviewed, including Cooper v. Pate, Vitek v. Jones, and Harper v. Washington. Finally, current class-action lawsuits against the state of California will be highlighted.
囚犯诉监狱》:囚犯诉监狱:惩教心理健康权利的历史》(Prisoners v. Prisons: A History of Correctional Mental Health Rights)。
本文回顾了囚犯权利的历史,重点关注心理健康治疗。文章将解释最常见的诉讼方式--"1983 诉讼请求",以及旨在应对 20 世纪 60 年代开始的囚犯诉讼请求泛滥的立法。还将回顾具有里程碑意义的相关案例,包括库珀诉佩特案(Cooper v. Pate)、维特克诉琼斯案(Vitek v. Jones)和哈珀诉华盛顿案(Harper v. Washington)。最后,将重点介绍当前针对加利福尼亚州的集体诉讼。
