Perry, et al. v. Secretary, FL Dept. of Corrections, et al., No. 11-10694 (11th Cir. 2011)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff, operator of two pen pal services, brought a civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 1983 alleging that the FDOC's Pen Pal Solicitation Rule, which prohibited inmates from soliciting pen pals, violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments. Appellants sought to enjoin the FDOC officials from banning all pen pal solicitation correspondence between the entities that appellants operated and Florida inmates, arguing that the rule substantially burdened their programs and deprived them of due process. The court affirmed the district court because the FDOC rule was rationally related to a legitimate penological interest and that the FDOC did not violate appellants' due process rights.
