California Vs Yagman Case Study

What the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that the government cannot compel a government employee to self-criminate themselves. What the court also ruled was, the police department had no right to terminate those individuals who decided to use their fifth amendment right (Justia, 2016). The court had asserted that “the option to lose their means of livelihood or pay the penalty of self-incrimination is the antithesis of free choice to speak or to remain silent. (Taylor, 2009). With this being the main concern to the court the courts decided not to reach the question on deeming the voluntariness of the statements as the only issues that was presented. Garrity v. New Jersey was based upon if the officers of his or her own free choice to admit,

Over the past years, it have been obvious, that jailhouse lawyers have increased the number of lawsuits filed by prisoners. In the year of 1980, prisoners filed 12,395 petitions of civil rights claims and in the year of 2000, prisoners filed 24,463 petitions of civil rights claims, in the Federal Courts, by State prisoners.(Mays & Winfree Jr, 2005, pp.304). Jailhouse lawyers have helped inmates file these petitions against the Federal Courts, in the favor of other inmates challenging their conditions of confinement. The conditions of their confinement seems to be, prisoners way for wanting to receive a sentence reduction, sometimes, a release from prison. On the other hand, prisoners tend to use jailhouse lawyers to file petitions that

In Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972) the Supreme Court held that a law requiring children to

At the time of the first incident involving Riley, he was known to be affiliated with the Lincoln Park gang in San Diego, California. On August 2, 2009, Riley with a few other gang members shot at a man of their opposing gang. Shortly after the scene took place, Riley and his crew then drove off in Riley’s vehicle. After a few days, on August 22, 2009, a police officer had pulled Riley over for expired tags on the current vehicle he was driving. At the same time, after running his license, the officer discovered that Riley was driving on a suspended license. Following the official procedure, Riley’s vehicle was to be impounded. Before his vehicle could be towed away though, the officer must go through and search

Or I fit consider as an unreasonable search. In fact, according to the Fourth Amendment it is not allowed to search or seize without a warrant. The issue in Riley’s case was that the police officer searched his phone without a warrant that gives him the green light to search or seize. However, there are some exceptions in the Fourth Amendment which may allow the

In the case of California v Ciralolo, the government did not do too far. In 1986 Dante Ciralolo, lived in Santa Clara California and was growing marijuana in his backyard, which was illegal. After receiving many reliable tips from the community, the police investigated these allegations. When they arrived at his home, they found a six-foot outer fence and a ten-foot inner fence surrounding his place so they couldn’t see into his backyard. The other houses in the neighborhood area did not have high fences so the police were curious of what he was doing behind the walls of his yard (Doc. B, C). Did they go too far by renting a plane to view his property and not getting a search warrant? I do not think so because this act did not defile the 4th Amendment.

There are always poor conditions in the local jails every day that are talked about, and still nothing will never get done about it. Local jails are usually crowed into small cells. Odors are often strong and sickening food served does not always taste

A sample of inmates released during this period was drawn from a list obtained from the Florida Department of Correction, for a total sample of roughly 3,793 offenders. Careful attention was given to securing a representative sample from each offense group. The offenders chosen were released from public and private state prisons after expiration of their sentences. The centralized idea of this study was to determine the differentiation between public and private state prisons focusing on recidivism. I have chosen two cases that reflect on the central issue of this topic and how they are treated by the Courts which can hopefully shed some light on the research problem as it exists in present society. These cases are based on

When we think about what happens when a criminal is arrested, we just assume that they will end up in jail, but that is not always the case. Not only are there jail, and prisons, but there are also probation, house arrest, and parole. In the text we learned how the system has many different ways of sentencing a person that was convicted of a crime. It is up to a judge to review what the sentencing investigation reports and decides which one of these punishments is appropriate. We looked at the different levels of incarceration; minimum, medium, maximum and super max. We learn that unlike county jails, there are no space limitations to state and federal prisons.

Hi Megan, I have two of the same court cases. However, I was on the fence about Turner v. Safley (1987) because even though the Supreme Court did state the constitutional rights of prisoners were violated it also made it easier for prison authorities to inflict tougher regulations by simply stating they had reasonable justification. By placing the word reasonable in their decision it gave the powers that be plenty of wiggle room to circumvent the ruling. In my opinion it appears the Supreme Court wanted to assume a limited hands on role and allow the prison system to self regulate on matters concerning the reasonableness of prison

Each year we have to look at the law where it comes to our prisoners. It has become very important for us to look at our prison systems. We have more inmates in jail than any other country., some of these inmates has be proven innocent. This paper will look at prisons now and then. Who runs the prison? The step a person has to go through before entering prison. Who runs the prison system? We as citizen what part do we play when it come to the prison system. What are the rules when it comes to prison. We have to pay more attention to who we put in jail we need to let people go who are found after prison that they are innocent. There has been evidence that has been show that a person is not guilty but they still had to stay in prison before they

The Schwarzenegger v. Plata lawsuit was regarding the health care in California prisons. The lawsuit was filed in 2001 by many prison inmates saying the health care in prisons was unconstitutionally bad it caused unnecessary pain and suffering, and in some cases death. In the ruling the CDCR agreed to ensure that the minimum health care requirements were met, but found they were unable to do so because of overcrowding in prisons. This finding resulted in Governor Schwarzenegger declaring a state of emergency because of prison overcrowding, which were causing the dangerous conditions in the prisons. This led to a large release of inmates back into the community to facilitate the overcrowding problem.

There are three cases highlighted in this snippet of a long and drawn out court battle. (Does the group agree that there are 3 separate cases?)
