• W1148271479 abstract "THE RIGHT TO REHABILITATION: LAAMAN V. HELGEMOE Most [prison!policy isformulated in a bureau that operates under the heading Department of Corrections. But what can we say about these asylums since none of the inmates are ever cured Since in every instance they are sent out of theprisons more damagedphysically and mentally than when they entered Because that is the reality. George Jackson * I. INTRODUCTION On July 1, 1977, the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire decided Laaman v. Helgemoe,' a case which earlier had been referred to by that court as the most comprehensive law suit ever brought against the [New Hampshire State] prison. ' 2 This decision joins a growing body of precedent which assumes the authority of federal courts to examine the totality of conditions of confinement in penal institutions.' Despite the intervention of federal courts, prisoners have not been given a constitutional right to be rehabilitated so that they may re-enter society as functioning citi- zens upon release from confinement. However, in Laaman, the court made important statements regarding prisoners' interests in rehabilitation. This Note will summarize the development of prisoners' rights, analyze Laaman and assess its impact on the right to rehabilitation. Justifications for a con- stitutional right to rehabilitation will be discussed, and proposals for defin- ing its scope will be presented. II. DEVELOPMENT OF PRISONERS' RIGHTS In an 1871 case, Ruffin v. Commonwealth, 4 prisoners were referred to as slaves of the state who had no rights except those granted by the state. For almost a hundred years punishment and revenge were heavily stressed as goals of penal institutions, with prisoners viewed as receiving just deserts.' Gradually, prisons came to be known as correctional systems, G. JACKSON, SOLEDAD BROTHER 30 (Bantam ed 1970). 1. 437 F. Supp. 269 (D.N.H. 1977), appeal docketed, No. 77-1459, 1460 (lst Cir.

McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539 (1974): Our prisons are just now beginning to work their way out of their punitive heritage. The first American penitentiary was established in Philadelphia in 1790; it contained 24 indi- vidual cells for the solitary confinement of hardened offenders. . . .Under this 'Penn- sylvania System' the prisoner was continuously confined to solitary and all communication was forbidden, with the exception of religious advisors and official visi- tors. . . . New York experimented with this approach but found it too severe, and adopted instead a compromise solution known as the 'Auburn' or 'silent' system, in which inmates were allowed to work in shops with others during the day, although under a strict rule of silence, and then returned to solitary confinement at night.
