Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Gary Quigg, pro se.

Nick A. Rotering, Dept. of Institutions, Helena, Mont., for defendants-appellees.

Before GOODWIN and FLETCHER, Circuit Judges, and PANNER, District Judge.


FLETCHER, Circuit Judge:

Appellants are prisoners confined in the Montana State Prison. Their appeal challenges the constitutionality of conditions inside that institution. They object specifically to the use of mass punishments, confiscation of inmate property, and mail censorship. We note jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
