In Cruz v. Beto, 405 U.S. 319, 92 S.Ct. 1079, 31 L.Ed.2d 263 (1972), the Supreme Court faced a case in which a prisoner's complaint had been dismissed without a hearing or findings. The Court said: "Federal courts sit not to supervise prisons but to enforce the constitutional rights of all 'persons,' including prisoners. We are not unmindful that prison officials must be accorded latitude in the administration of prison affairs, and that prisoners necessarily are subject to appropriate rules and regulations. But persons in prison, like other individuals, have the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances which, of course, includes 'access of prisoners to the courts for the purpose of presenting their complaints.' Johnson v. Avery, 393 U.S. 483, 485 (89 S.Ct. 747, 749, 21 L.Ed.2d 718); Ex parte Hull, 312 U.S. 546, 549 (61 S.Ct. 640, 641, 85 L.Ed. 1034). See also Younger v. Gilmore, 404 U.S. 15 (92 S.Ct. 250, 30 L.Ed.2d 142), aff'g Gilmore v. Lynch, 319 F.Supp. 105 (ND Cal.)" (Id. 405 U.S. at 321, 92 S.Ct. at 1081.)
