Reglamento sobre Tarifas de Presentación para Prisioneros

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que si un prisionero ha demandado antes y lo hizo de forma engañosa, su nueva demanda puede ser desechada. Pero si está en peligro inmediato, la corte no puede ignorar su solicitud de ayuda.

Es como cuando un jugador de fútbol hace muchas faltas y el árbitro lo advierte. Si sigue haciendo trampa, puede ser expulsado del partido, pero si está en peligro de ser golpeado, el árbitro debe intervenir.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan, un prisionero, ha tratado de demandar a la prisión varias veces sin éxito porque presentó pruebas falsas. Cuando intenta nuevamente, la corte puede rechazar su nueva demanda. Sin embargo, si Juan dice que está en peligro de ser agredido, la corte tiene que escuchar su queja y actuar.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

(2) the prisoner has previously filed prison conditions litigation against a person named as a defendant in the instant action or a person serving in the same official capacity as a named defendant and a court made a finding that the prior action was filed in bad faith or that the prisoner knowingly presented false evidence or testimony at a hearing or trial; the court may dismiss the action. The court shall not, however, dismiss a request for preliminary injunctive relief or a temporary restraining order which makes a credible allegation that the prisoner is in imminent danger of serious bodily injury. 42 Pa.C.S. 6603 - Limitations On Remedies (a) Limitations on remedies for Federal claims.--Prison conditions litigation filed in or remanded to a court of this Commonwealth alleging in whole or in part a violation of Federal law shall be subject to any limitations on remedies established by Federal law or Federal courts with respect to the Federal claims.
