ANNOTATION: The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals' Opinion regarding Ohio's Level 5/Supermax case can be accessed at this website. The Court found that the Inmates show a protected liberty interest under Sandin v. Connor (1995), in that assignment to a supermax facility results in more restrictive confinement conditions. But, the Court reversed substantive modifications to prison regulations covering the amount of drugs (contraband) an inmate may possess before qualifying for a reclassification hearing, security group activity, and retention criteria.
