Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Wolff v. McDonnell established that prisoners have the right to due process in disciplinary hearings, including written notice of the charges, the right to call witnesses and present evidence, and a written explanation for the decision. The other three cases dealt with issues such as medical treatment for prisoners (Estelle v. Gamble), censorship of prisoner mail (Pell v. Procunier), and conditions in prison (Pugh v. Locke), but did not address due process in disciplinary actions.
