Description
CROCKETT, Justice: Randy A. Ziegler, an inmate serving a sentence for burglary in the Utah State Prison, was placed in isolated
confinement after engaging in an attempt to escape and making an assault upon a prison guard. He filed in district court a
petition in 1 alleging cruel and unusual punishment in denying his constitutional rights of free speech, freedom of religion,
and access to the library and to legal materials. Upon the basis of the representations made to the district court, it ruled
that he had shown no grounds for relief, including that he had not exhausted his administrative remedies. He appeals. In considering his contentions, it is appropriate to have in mind the purpose and the scope of . Though its original purpose
was to test the lawfulness of the cause of one's restraint or imprisonment, or the propriety of proceedings relating thereto,
it is not to be doubted that the understanding of the nature of the writ has been broadened to test other alleged violations
of basic rights; 2 and that this would include cruel and unusual punishment, 3 or anything that would properly fit within
that charge. 4
