the case that I chose was Wolff v. McDonnell. This case was very important because it uniformed certain rights and freedoms within correctional facilities. “Although inmates received some procedural safe-guards to protect them against the notorious abuses of disciplinary meetings‚ they did not receive all the due- process rights of a criminal trial” (Clemens‚ 2002). Nor did the Court question the right of correctional officials to revoke the good time of inmates. In this case‚ “Robert O. McDonnell

Alan’s dad was a charming wastrel‚ Steve "Ginger" Johnson‚ a womanising pub pianist who blew his chance of a musical career and left the
