Preiser v. Rodriguez is the landmark Supreme Court case that established the general rule that inmates must use habeas corpus petitions to challenge the legality and duration of their confinement and Section 1983 suits to challenge the constitutionality of conditions under which they are held. Cooper v. Lanham and Kahane v. Carlson are not relevant cases, and while Johnson v. Avery does involve habeas corpus petitions, it does not establish the same rule as Preiser v. Rodriguez.
