Does a random drug testing policy by the WCC violate an inmate's constitutional right to provide a urine sample?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Dickerson v. Riveland, 981 F.2d 1258 (9th Cir. 1992):

Random drug testing is reasonably related to the goal of reducing inmate drug use, which is obviously a legitimate penological interest. See Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 559-60 (1979) (objective of preventing drugs and other contraband from entering prison is sufficient to justify infringement of constitutional rights). The WCC policy of supervising an inmate while he provides a urine sample is likewise related to the legitimate objectives of preserving the integrity of a sample and insuring that it belongs to the inmate.
