Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this chapter, Lisa Kerr provides a case study of the dynamic Sharon Dolovich identifies: U.S. courts’ failure to extend maternal rights into the prison context. Focusing on the interest incarcerated mothers have in retaining custody of their newborn infants, the chapter illustrates how courts drain the content of mothers’ constitutional rights in response to the most minimal justifications advanced by prisons and state officials. Canadian courts have largely adopted the same deferential approach to prison officials as have American courts. But one recent Canadian case—Inglis v. British Columbia—sharply diverged from this tradition. Not only did the judge in Inglis rule on the side of the prisoners, but her reasoning departed significantly, even radically, from what one typically sees in judicial rulings on prisoners’ constitutional claims, even while resting on wholly recognizable and noncontroversial legal principles. In this way, Kerr argues, Inglis potentially offers a new model for judicial review of prisoners’ constitutional claims.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
