(2) Is necessary to correct the violation. (3) Is the only relief which will correct the violation. (c) Limitation.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the court to order the construction of prisons or to repeal or detract from otherwise applicable limitations on the remedial powers of the courts.

2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 42 - JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE|Chapter 66 - Prisoner Litigation|Section 6605 - Types of prospective relief

 § 6605. Types of prospective relief. (a) Preliminary injunctive relief.--In prison conditions litigation, the court may, to the extent authorized by law, enter a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction. A preliminary injunction shall automatically expire 90 days after its entry unless the court makes the findings required under section 6604 (relating to prospective relief) for the entry of prospective relief and makes the order final before the expiration of the 90-day period.  (b) Prisoner release orders.--The court shall enter a prisoner release order only if it finds by clear and convincing evidence that crowding is the primary cause of the violation. The government party with jurisdiction over the prison subject to the prisoner release order or the prosecution or custody of persons who may be released from prison as a result of a prisoner release order shall have standing to intervene in any related proceeding and to oppose the imposition or continuation of the order and to seek termination of the order. No prisoner release order shall be entered unless:  (1) a court previously entered an order for less intrusive relief which has failed to remedy the violation sought to be remedied. Such order may include a prisoner release order;  (2) the defendant has had a reasonable amount of time to comply with the previous court order; and  (3) no other relief will remedy the violation.

2021 Pennsylvania Consolidated & Unconsolidated Statutes|Title 42 - JUDICIARY AND JUDICIAL PROCEDURE|Chapter 66 - Prisoner Litigation|Section 6606 - Termination or modification of prospective relief

 § 6606. Termination or modification of prospective relief. (a) General rule.--In prison conditions litigation in which prospective relief is or has been ordered, the relief shall be terminable upon the motion of a party or intervener two years after the date the court granted or approved the prospective relief or one year after the date the court entered an order denying termination of prospective relief under this subsection.  (b) Early termination.--Nothing in this section shall prevent the parties from agreeing to terminate or modify relief before the relief is terminated under subsection (a).  (c) Immediate termination.--In prison conditions litigation, a party or intervener shall be entitled to the immediate termination of prospective relief if the relief was approved or granted in the absence of a finding on the record by the court that the relief is narrowly drawn, extends no further than necessary and is the least intrusive means necessary to correct the violation of Pennsylvania law.  (d) Limitation.--Prospective relief shall not terminate if the court makes written findings based on the record that prospective relief remains necessary to correct a current and ongoing violation of Pennsylvania law previously determined by the court to exist, extends no further than necessary and is the least intrusive means necessary to correct that violation of Pennsylvania law.  (e) Other termination or modification.--Nothing in this section shall prevent a party or intervener from seeking modification or termination to the extent otherwise legally permissible.

§ 6608. Payment of damage award or settlement. Monetary damages awarded to a prisoner in connection with prison conditions litigation or paid in settlement of prison conditions litigation which is payable from funds appropriated by the General Assembly or by a political subdivision or an insurance policy purchased by the Commonwealth or political subdivision shall first be used to satisfy any outstanding court orders requiring the prisoner to pay restitution, costs, bail, judgments, fines, fees, sanctions or other court-imposed amounts in connection with a criminal prosecution or sentence. Upon receipt of a copy of an outstanding court order, the government party or person designated by the government party shall deduct the full amount owed from the remaining moneys and arrange to pay it directly to the person or entity owed in accordance with Pennsylvania law. Where the amount of outstanding court orders exceeds the monetary damage award or settlement, the government party shall notify the parties owed of the intended distribution of the amounts. Any person or entity owed who objects to the proposed distribution may seek a court order compelling a different distribution. Any remainder of a monetary damage award shall be used to satisfy any amount owed to a government party, including a judgment or any other costs and fees assessed against or imposed upon the prisoner, including, but not limited to, costs for medical services, incarceration and destruction of property. The procedures for such assessment shall be set forth by the prison in written policy and procedure. Notice that all or part of a monetary damage award has been expended pursuant to this section shall be provided to the prisoner by certified mail or personal service.
