Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Illinois v. Perkins, the Supreme Court held that police undercover agents are not required to administer the Miranda warning to incarcerated inmates when investigating crimes. The Court held that Miranda warnings are required only when an individual is subject to custodial interrogation. Because the defendant in Perkins did not know that he was speaking with an undercover officer, he was not in custody for Miranda purposes, and thus no Miranda warnings were required.
