Abstract: "The dissertation sought systematically to understand the nature of institutional reform litigation in the context of the 14-year-long Guthrie v Evans lawsuit at the Georgia State Prison (GSP) in Reidsville, Georgia. The analysis relied on archival data in Guthrie and descriptions of comparative cases in the literature, but most extensively on data gathered in focused interviews with key decision makers. The analysis focused on four important questions: First, who were the key decision makers and how did they perceive the case and underlying issues? Second, how did the budget for GSP change in the course of litigation and what were the important factors in that process? Third, what were the major remedies undertaken and how did settlement patterns change in the course of the litigation? Finally, what rights undergirded the Guthrie litigation and what does this tell us about institutional reform litigation? |
