The New York PL-1996-48 Prison Litigation Reform Act (Superseded by Order dated Dec 26, 2996 and filed Dec 27, 1996), Oct 1, 1996.pdf is a document that outlines a set of guidelines and regulations for prison litigation reform in New York State. It was created to address the overwhelming number of civil rights claims made by inmates in the state’s correctional facilities, and to ensure that the rights of prisoners are protected while simultaneously protecting the public’s safety. The document contains two parts. The first part outlines the regulations and procedures which must be followed in order to initiate and pursue civil rights claims by prisoners. The second part details the state’s policy on prison litigation reform and the remedies available to inmates who have been the victims of abuse or neglect while in prison. The document is organized into seven sections: Definitions, Civil Rights Claims, Qualified Immunity, Judicial Review, Remedies, Court Monitoring, and Miscellaneous Provisions. It was superseded by an Order dated Dec 26, 2996 and filed Dec 27, 1996.
