Court of Appeals for the First Circuit November 9, 1977, 77-1281 (Robert J. Daigle v. Frank A. Hall)

COFFIN, Chief Judge.

Appellants, inmates in the Massachusetts Correctional Institution at Walpole, brought this suit alleging that their transfers from the general population to the Departmental Segregation Unit (DSU) deprived them of due process of law. We must first decide what process, if any, was due.
