The following excerpt is from Cranford v. King, Case No. 1:14-cv-01002-MJS (PC) (E.D. Cal. 2014):
Unless there is evidence of intent to punish, conditions or restrictions that are reasonably related to legitimate penological objectives do not violate detainees' right to be free from punishment. See Block v. Rutherford, 468 U.S. 576, 584 (1984), citing Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 538-39 (1979).
Plaintiff does not state a due process claim arising from the mail policy.
