This document comes from the court case Daniel Berrigan, et al. v. J. J. Norton, Warden, Danbury Federal Correctional Institution, U.S. Bureau of Prisons, et al. It was an appeal to U.S. District Court of Connecticut Civil Action No. 14,112.
This appeal involving questions of first amendment rights and prisons sought to allow imprisoned Roman-Catholic priests, including Father Philip Berrigan and his brother Father Daniel Berrigan, to disseminate their writings and sermons either in person or through recorded messages. The priests were imprisoned in connection with their involvement of the destruction of selective service records during the Vietnam War.
