The Law and Foreign Prisoners in Texas: A Socio-Legal Analysis
Journal Title: The Polish Journal of Criminology - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
We examine in this article the legal status of foreign prisoners in the United States in general, and in the State of Texas in particular. With few exceptions, the law does not distinguish between domestic and foreign prisoners, granting similar rights and obligations to each. We conclude this article by examining current controversies in the treatment of foreign prisoners in the United States. Issues examined include dietary restrictions, use of languages other than English, length of hair, and mandatory and indefinite detention of aliens.
