Does a federal prison library need to include a collection of state reporters and digestes in its collection?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Housley v. Killinger, 972 F.2d 1339 (9th Cir. 1992):
We hold that the contents and condition of the prison library do not transgress clearly established law. No court has held that federal prisons must include state reporters and digests in their collection. To the contrary, we have previously approved the contents of a federal prison library that did not include state law reporters or digests. See Gaglie v. Ulibarri, 507 F.2d 721, 722 (9th Cir.1974).
