Holt v. Sarver was a court decision that was the first in a series of American common law cases that have found entire state prison systems in violation of prisoners' constitutional rights by inflicting cruel and unusual punishment. The Arkansas prison system, which had no written standards, was found to violate the US Constitution. The cases significantly altered the American prison system, specifically with regard to prisoners' rights under the Eighth Amendment.
