The new Congress should make repealing it a priority.

The PLRA crippled it in a way that is almost impossible to get people excited or energized about--no one wants to talk about it at parties (ask me why I know that).
So ppl yell about the irrelevant and mostly expired 1994 Crime Bill, while the PLRA allows states to pack ppl in inhumane prisons.

See also one of my big hills-to-die-on, the 1994 Crime Bill vs. the Prison Litigation Reform Act.
The 1994 Crime Bill did ~nothing to drive prison pops, but "they offered billions [that went unclaimed] to build prisons!" resonates.
But for the PLRA?

Pakistan’s Punjab Land Records Authority Faces Alleged 16 Million-Record Exposure: Unauthenticated API Claim Raises Fears of Identity and Property Fraud + Video
Introduction: A Potential Government Data Exposure With Serious Consequences A threat actor on an underground forum claims to have discovered a broken access control vulnerability in Pakistan’s Punjab Urban Land Systems Enhancement (PULSE) platform, allegedly allowing unauthorized access to land registry records managed by the Punjab Land Records Authority (PLRA). According to the claim, approximately 15.6 million property registry records—advertised as a database containing 16 million records—may have been accessible through an application programming interface (API) that did not require authentication.

El PLRA propone que la oposición acuerde un programa común antes de elegir candidato para 2028. “No es tiempo de imposiciones”, dijo Alcides Riveros.
El partido ganó 61 intendencias en las municipales: menos que las 80 de 2021 y lejos de su meta de 100.

PLRA normally requires inmates to "exhaust" their administrative remedies before being allowed to file a law suit in federal court
The plaintiffs in this case say PLRA doesn't apply to them (because they aren't prison inmates) or modify associational standing at all

Actually, so far as appeals might go, I'm concerned about the 8th Amendment analysis, but I'm also concerned about the analysis of standing and the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA)

There are other issues here that I'd describe as Gorsuch Bait
For example, PLRA places limits on prospective relief (e.g., an injunction requiring something to happen in the future) to "no further than necessary to correct the violation . . . of a particular plaintiff or plaintiffs"

TDCJ argues PLRA's limits on prospective relief for prison inmates means organizational plaintiffs cannot use associational standing to circumvent PLRA and bring claims for prospective relief, because the groups aren't asserting their own civil rights or rights of "a particular plaintiff"

Note: Walker dissents over the issue of "rolling" Prison Litigation Reform Act injunctions, not the BOP policy itself.
(Because PLRA injunctions are limited to 90 days, judges re-issue them when needed, as Judge Lamberth has done here.)

At least state prisoners have §1983 as a remedy. Engelbert v. Boule made it impossible to seek damages from federal employees for Constitutional violations.
Of course, the PLRA and numerous state laws make access to the courts predicated on exhaustion of administrative remedies. This process [1/2]
