Question Presented (from Petition)

Due to the covid-19 pandemic, since March 2010 inmates have not had access to a type writer or the library, and there has been times where we only come out for a 10 minute shower, 3 times a week, making it impossible to study my case or communicate with my lawyer via phone call. Is it possible, due to lack of resources?

Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the COVID-19 pandemic and related government orders have unconstitutionally denied access to the courts and the right to petition the government for redress of grievances
