Abstract: 

A district court judge imposes an inordinantly long sentence on a federal prisoner reasoning the man would be deriving “a life benefit” from participating in the Bureau of Prisons’ 500-hour Residential Drug Abuse Program. HIV-positive prisoners bring a class action when they are completely segregated from the general population in all of their daily activities, from housing to religious worship, and they have no access to many Alabama DOC programs.
