Ind. Decisions - "Prison policy on sex-offender visitation to stand "
An AP story today in the Louisville Courier Journal does nothing to add further clarification to the Supreme Court's order yesterday (2nd item) "vacating prior order granting transfer" in Doe v. Donahue. Some quotes from the AP:
The Indiana Supreme Court said yesterday that it would not rule on a challenge to a state prison policy prohibiting virtually all visitation between minors and sex offenders. The policy thus will stand.The court issued the one-page order 12 days after it heard oral arguments in a class-action lawsuit filed by the Indiana Civil Liberties Union.
The order, signed by Chief Justice Randall Shepard, said the court's decision to hear the challenge of a state appeals court ruling upholding the policy was "improvidently granted." But it provided no elaboration.
