"I cannot think of any group of persons for whom Yackle's story of the Alabama prison case is not a must read. Lawyers will understand the importance and limitations of litigation as a vehicle for social change; judges will learn of the frustration of presiding over institutional reformlitigation; legislators and other public policy makers will see the results of their irresponsible behavior and, hopefully, do better in the future; students and academics will learn how important public policy decisions are made by reacting to crisis, not as a result of long-range planning; and ourlarger society will understand the horror of our prisons in the recent past, reflect on the level of our own civilized behavior and prevent such degradation from happening again."--Alvin J. Bronstein, Executive Director, National Prison Project, ACLU, "A well written and thoughtful book. It not only provides an analysis of the process of institutional reform and the role that legislation can play but also provides an analysis of how and why reform fails. It makes us question what should be changed and how it can be achieved."--BritishJournal of Criminology, "Extremely thorough, scholarly and thoughtful. The main argument involves a detailed analysis of the process of institutional reform through a concrete and complex litigation in Alabama. The second aspect of the argument is the extraordinary difficulty of achieving institutional reformthrough the courts in the face of entrenched political opposition and other obstacles. This is an important and sad lesson, for specialists and the public alike, as well as for students of law and public policy, who would particularly profit from reading about the Alabama prisonlitigation."--Norman Dorsen, New York University School of Law, "An engrossing, carefully written story of two federal lawsuits, Pugh v.

Synopsis
This book provides a descriptive analysis of the campaign to achieve prison reform in Alabama through the federal courts., This is an engaging descriptive analysis of the campaign to achieve prison reform in Alabama through constitutional litigation in the federal courts. When the deplorable conditions in Alabama's shockingly overcrowded and understaffed prisons were revealed at a trial in 1975, Judge Frank Johnson declared that the prison system as a whole constituted a cruel punishment which was in violation of the eighth amendment. He issued an elaborate decree specifying improvements that were needed to satisfy constitutional standards. By 1988, federal judges had ordered wideranging reforms in the penal systems of thirty-seven states. This book outlines the background against which Judge Johnson acted, the process that produced the decree, and subsequent efforts to enforce his order in the face of bureaucratic inertia, administrative incompetence, and political demagogy., When the deplorable conditions in Alabama's prisons were revealed at trial in 1975, Judge Frank Johnson declared the prison system as a whole to constitute cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the eighth amendment. He then issued an elaborate decree specifying improvements that must be made to satisfy constitutional standards. In this study, Larry W. Yackle describes the campaign to achieve prison reform in Alabama through constitutional litigation in the federal courts and surveys the process that produced Johnson's decree, and subsequent efforts to enforce his order in the face of bureaucratic inertia, administrative incompetence, and political demagogy. A decade later, the prisons showed significant physical improvements, but Alabama's resistance to progressive penal policies remained intact and impeded lasting change. Covering the lawyers' strategies, Judge Johnson's creative actions, and the machinations of state and federal officials including the Department of Justice under President Ronald Reagan, this book conveys the frustrating yet effective effort at prison litigation and offers important lessons for other proponents of penal reform across the country.
