Turner v. Safley 482 U.S. 78 (1987) was a U.S. Supreme Court decision involving the constitutionality of two prison regulations. Citing the reduced liberty and greater security needs of the prison context the Court declined to use the strict scrutiny standard of review. It upheld a regulation that allowed prison officials to prohibit inmates at one prison from corresponding with those at another in certain cases calling it reasonable and facially valid.
