Tóm tắt

Nghiên cứu này phân tích các Thư Kết Luận trong các trường hợp Luật Quyền Dân Sự Của Các Tổ Chức (CRIPA) tại các nhà tù trong giai đoạn từ 1993 đến 2013 nhằm cải thiện hiểu biết của chúng ta về sự phổ biến, nội dung và các yếu tố liên quan đến các vi phạm hiến pháp được Bộ Tư Pháp điều tra. CRIPA cho phép Bộ Tư Pháp Hoa Kỳ điều tra và khởi kiện các cơ sở giam giữ địa phương về các điều kiện vi hiến đối với những cá nhân mà họ đang chăm sóc. Điều tra các cáo buộc và cung cấp một Thư Kết Luận cho các quan chức địa phương là những bước đầu tiên trong một hành động CRIPA và xác định những hành động khắc phục cần được thực hiện để tránh một vụ kiện liên bang. Phân tích đã tiết lộ một tỷ lệ cao về một số vi phạm hiến pháp cụ thể, các xu hướng theo thời gian và các đặc điểm của cơ sở giam giữ liên quan đến hành động CRIPA.
