IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 4, 1995
Mr. MCINTOSH introduced the following bill; which was referred to the
Committee on the Judiciary
A BILL
Entitled the ‘‘State Correctional Litigation Reform Act of

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
TITLE I—STATE CORRECTIONAL
LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
SECTION 101. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Law Abiding Citizens
Safety Act of 1995’’.
SEC. 102. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
(A) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that:
(1) Among the most important purposes of the
criminal law are: the need for criminal punishments
HR 322 IH
to reflect the seriousness of the offense, to promote
respect for the law, to provide just punishment for
the offense, to afford adequate deterrence to crimi-
nal conduct, and to protect the public from further
crimes.
(2) ‘‘The Constitution does not mandate com-
fortable prison conditions; only those deprivations
denying the minimal civilized measure of life’s neces-
sities are sufficiently grave to form the basis of an
Eighth Amendment violation’’. Wilson v. Seiter, 115
L. Ed. 2d 271 (1991), citing Rhodes v. Chapman,
452 U.S. 337 (1981).
(3) An inmate should not be able to successfully
challenge conditions of confinement of an institution
unless he establishes both that the condition con-
stitutes the unnecessary and wanton infliction of
pain such that he is deprived the minimum civilized
measure of life’s necessities and that prison officials
are deliberately indifferent to his plight. Wilson v.
Seiter, 115 L. Ed. 2d 271 (1991), Helling et al. v.
McKinney (United States Supreme Court, No. 91–
1958, June 18, 1993).
(4) As Judge Posner recognized, ‘‘ * * * the
infliction of disutility * * * is one of the objectives
of criminal punishment; only if the only objective of
