Twenty years ago, Johnny killed his wife in a fit of rage when
he came home one night and saw her in bed with another man.
Based on the mandatory sentencing guidelines at the time of his
conviction, Johnny was sentenced to life in prison without any
opportunity for parole.
For the past 20 years, Johnny has been a model prisoner. He
finished his college degree and worked as a cook in the prison
kitchen. One day, a fight in the mess hall between two other
prisoners resulted in the death of one prisoner and several
injuries to prison guards. At the time, Johnny was working in
the kitchen and took no role in the fight.
After the fight, the warden of the prison imposed a series of
punishments. First, the warden ordered a 24-hour lockdown of
the prison. This lockdown lasted 10 days, during which
prisoners were not allowed out of their cells.
Second, the warden ordered that prisoners be deprived of all
“treats” including adult magazines, reading materials,
caffeinated sodas, candy, and desserts; visiting privileges for all
prisoners were halted for one year.
Finally, and perhaps worst, the warden decided to isolate the
most violent prisoners for an extended period. Because of
Johnny’s murder conviction, the warden ordered Johnny to
serve six months in solitary confinement.
After doing his time in solitary, Johnny filed an internal
complaint with the warden. In his complaint, Johnny argued that
the warden’s punitive measures violated his Eighth Amendment
rights. The warden denied Johnny’s complaint and Johnny then
filed a complaint in the federal court.
If your last name starts with A - L, please argue this case on the
part of Johnny. Show, using case law and other legal
arguments, how the warden’s measures constituted violations of
the Eighth Amendment.
my last name start wirh H
