Abstract:

Several federal courts of appeals, including the one that serves North Carolina, have recognized the greater rights of detainees. However, in Bell v. Wolfish, the United States Supreme Court made it clear that the constitutional rights of both convicts and pretrial detainees can be much more restricted than the constitutional rights of free persons.
