In california, prisoners were racially segregated each time they entered a new correction facility, as a way of preventing gang-related violence. this unwritten policy was reviewed by the u.s. supreme court in 2005, in the case of johnson v. california. what was the court's ruling, and why?

Respuesta :

In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court case of Johnson V. California go through that unwritten policy and held that the policy was unconstitutional for the reason that it didn’t help a persuasive state concern and that is irrelevant to the legitimate security needs of the prisoners.
