"Jones v. Cunningham", 371 U.S. 236 (1963) was a Supreme Court case in which the court first ruled that state inmates had the right to file a writ of habeas corpus to challenging both the legality and the conditions of their imprisonment. Prior to this, starting with "Pervear v. Massachusetts", ussc|72|475|1866, the court had maintained a "hands off" policy regarding federal interference with state incarceration policies and practices, maintaining that the Bill of Rights did not apply to the states.cite web |author= |year= |month= |url=http://www.usconstitution.net/consttop_bor.html |title=Constitutional Topic: The Bill of Rights |publisher=U.S. Constitution Online |accessdate=2007-12-10 ]
