Ruiz v. Estelle  

Définition(s)

  • A federal class action lawsuit that twice reached the Supreme Court, Ruiz v. Estelle began in 1972 as a hand-printed inmate complaint and evolved into one of the most important prisoner rights cases in American history. Bitterly contested at every stage, the case pitted jailhouse lawyers and their advocates against one of the most entrenched, well-respected prison establishments in the nation, the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC).
