What is the current state of the law on discrimination against the prison authorities?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Castle v. Eurofresh, Inc., D.C. No. 3:09-cv-08114-JWS, No. 11-17947 (9th Cir. 2013):

Other anti-discrimination statutes might be amenable to a similar solution to the problem our cases have created. Many violations of Title VII, for example, may be actionable against the prison authorities under 42 U.S.C. 1983. Cf. Williams v. Meese, 926 F.2d 994, 998 (10th Cir. 1991) (observing that a federal prisoner may be able to bring a Bivens action if prison officials "discriminate against him on the basis of his age, race, or handicap, in choosing whether to assign him a job or in choosing what job to assign him").
