美国的法院已经认识到娱乐的必要性，因此，做出了许多裁决，保证囚犯在娱乐活动中获得最低限度的时间。法院的裁决还涉及娱乐活动的质量以及监狱官员可以在多大程度上限制所进行的活动。户外娱乐、娱乐的社会方面以及与娱乐有关的囚犯健康状况是法院裁定的重要事项。监狱官员在提供娱乐项目所需的设施和工作人员方面往往受到资源有限的限制。尽管法院在许多情况下就囚犯享有娱乐的权利作出了裁决，但在这方面尚未出现一项连贯和全面的政策。
Courts in the United States have come to recognize the need for recreation and, as a result, have made numerous rulings that guarantee prisoners are afforded some minimal amount of time in recreational activities. Court decisions also have dealt with the quality of recreation and the extent to which prison officials may restrict what activities are conducted. Outdoor recreation, the social aspects of recreation, and the health status of prisoners as it relates to recreation are important matters on which courts have ruled. Prison officials often are constrained by limited resources in providing the facilities and staff necessary for recreational programs. Although courts have ruled in numerous instances on the rights of prisoners to have access to recreation, a coherent and comprehensive policy in this area has yet to emerge.
