Explain two aspects of the Prison Litigation Reform Act and how it restricts the rights of inmates?

The Prison Litigation Reform Act is a piece of legislation that is made to restrict prisoners from courts, legal professionals and the material necessary for legal procedures. One aspect of this reform act was to essentially ban or make it extremely harder for inmates to participate in court filings. Before a prisoner can even file anything, they must use all of their remedies, once a prisoner has tried all of the remedies, he or she must then go through even more hurdles, just to file a suit. If a prisoner is injured and hoping to file a suit about that, they have to have physical injuries, if they are able to show physical injuries they must then pay a fine to file. The fine alone is steep for inmates who are making little to no income and injuries are not always visible. The list continues to go on, clearly restricting the rights of inmates who once were able to file a civil rights suit whenever it was necessary. Another aspect that restricts the rights of inmates is the three strikes provision. This provision states that if an inmate has three lawsuits deemed as “frivolous” or “malicious”, they are banned from ever filing another case. Even if their new case going forward is completely plausible and necessary. Most inmates lack the proper legal knowledge, making it easier for their cases to be frivolous as they don’t know how to write a nicely constructed case. Three of these “frivolous” dismissals and they are permanently banned from making one again. This is clearly restricting inmates from their right to participate in court altogether.
