A syllabus for the U.S. Supreme Court's opinion on McKune v. Lile is provided. This case involved the refusal of an inmate to participate in the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program (SATP) on the grounds that the disclosures of his criminal history and "Admission of Responsibility" required for SATP participation were a violation of his "Fifth Amendment privilege against compelled self-incrimination" (p. 1). The Supreme Court found no compelled self-incrimination, reversed the decision, and remanded this case on a vote of 5 to 4. Accession Number: 017812
