CARLSON v. OLIVER

372 A.2d 226 (1977)

Everett CARLSON v. Richard S. OLIVER.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

April 7, 1977.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pine Tree Legal Assistance by Thomas B. Benjamin, Lewiston, for plaintiff.

William J. Kelleher, Asst. Atty. Gen., Augusta, for defendant.

Before DUFRESNE, C. J., and WEATHERBEE, POMEROY, WERNICK and ARCHIBALD, JJ.

POMEROY, Justice.

This court has made clear that it is reluctant to interfere with penal control and management. Duncan v. Ulmer, 159 Me. 266, 191 A.2d 617 (1963). Nevertheless, we must recognize

"There is no iron curtain drawn between the Constitution and the prisons of this country." Wolff v. McDonnell, 418 U.S. 539, 555, 94 S.Ct. 2963, 2974, 41 L.Ed.2d 935 (1974).
