MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Shamburger v. Rosario, 17 F.3d 396 (9th Cir. 1994):
Prison officials are "accorded wide-ranging deference in the adoption and execution of policies and practices that in their judgment are needed to preserve internal order and discipline and to maintain institutional security." Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 547 (1979). Therefore, maintaining institutional security and preserving internal order are essential goals that may require limitation or retraction of a prisoner's constitutional rights. Id. at 546.
