Abstract: 

Editor's Note: This is a continuation of the complaint filed on behalf of Paul Augustine, asking the court to consider the conditions of his confinement, treatment inadequacies, ability to freely exercise his religion, and his right to marry his fiancée. Part I of this complaint contained the preliminary statement and the parties to the case and began describing the conditions of Paul’s confinement, both as unsafe and punitive. (John S. Furlong, “Anatomy of a Civil Rights Action, Part I: Understanding How the Courts Clarify the Law,” 6 (4) SLR 49 (Jun./Jul. 2005).) Part II continued the description of the punitive nature of the conditions of Paul’s confinement, and enumerated the claims of inadequate treatment, violations of religious rights, and the violation of the right to marry. (John S. Furlong, “Anatomy of a Civil Rights Action, Part II: Reality of SVP Legislation in the Courts,” 6 (5) SLR 65 (Aug./Sept. 2005).) This installment continues following the legal process of a sexually violent legislation case in New Jersey.
