Today, we'll look at the latest ruling from the Supreme
Court and how it strengthens prisoners' rights. In a five
to four decision on June twelfth, Supreme Court bolstooed prisoners
rights under the Prison Litigation Reform Act. So let's see
what this all about. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the
majority of period opinion, ruling that prisoners are entitled to
a jury trial under the Seventh Amendment when disputes over

exhausting administrative remedies or try tied to claims like excessive
force that require a jury. This decision and sure as
prisoners can more fairly pursue civil rights lawsuits against prison abuses.
The PLRI pass in nineteen ninety six requires inmates to
complete internal prison grievance processes before filing federal lawsuits, aiming
to reduce frivolous cases. However, this often blocked legitimate claims

due to technicalities. The Court's ruling encounters this by allowing
juries to decide exhaustion disputes in certain cases, protecting prisoners
access to justice, and holding facilities accountable for violations like
poor medical care or mistreatment. This ruling could lead to
more civil rights lawsuits challenging prison conditions across the U

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
