''Turner v. Safley'', 482 U.S. 78 (1987), was a U.S. Supreme Court decision involving the constitutionality of two prison regulations. Both prisoners had different circumstances and distinct claims involved in their case, but it related to the fundamental right to marry. ==Finds of the case== In an mixed two opinions the court ultimately ruled in favor of plaintiffs. Citing the reduced liberty and greater security needs of the prison context, the Court declined to use the strict scrutiny standard of review. It ruled unanimously to uphold a regulation that allowed prison officials to prohibit inmates at one prison from corresponding with those at another in certain cases, calling it "reasonable and facially valid". By a 5-4 vote, the Court struck down another regulation that prohibited inmates from marrying without the permission of the warden, finding that it was "not...reasonably related to legitimate penological objectives" and "impermissibly burdened" their right to marry. This decision is in line with the Supreme Court's decision in ''Loving v. Virginia'' that the right to marry is a fundamental right protected by the liberty element of the due process clause. The ''Turner'' court noted many purposes of marriage, including: ''Turner'' was cited on July 2014 in the case of ''Bostic v. Harris''〔(''Bostic v. Harris'' at p. 52 (4th Cir. 2014) )〕 and in June 2015 in the case of ''Obergefell v. Hodges''.〔http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Turner v. Safley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
