History

Historical Context

The 1996 Prison Litigation Reform Act, passed by Congress, requires inmates to exhaust administrative remedies and to prepay fees after three prior frivolous dismissals. The Supreme Court’s 2007 Jones v. Bock decision further tightened those limits. Today, the Ohio Supreme Court will hear Mackenzie Shirilla’s petition, where the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor relies on the PLRA to defend her conviction.
