var WPFootnote2 = 'In Mathis v. United States, 391 U.S. 1 (1968), a suspect’s\
answers incriminating him in tax fraud, given to federal\
investigators while he was imprisoned on a state conviction, were\
held inadmissible because no Miranda warnings had been given. The\
Court acknowledged Miranda’s applicability to questioning “‘when an\
individual is taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his\
freedom by the authorities in any significant way,’” id. at 5\
(quoting 384 U.S. at 478), but did not say whether the interview\
with Mathis fell within Miranda because of his incarceration or\
because of some other deprivation that was significant in the\
circumstances. Although it did not address Mathis, the Court’s\
opinion in Shatzer forecloses Ellison’s reading of the case for the\
former proposition. \

var WPFootnote3 = 'On these facts, there would, of course, be no conclusion of\
custodial interrogation in those circuits that have previously\
applied the rule that such interrogation of a prisoner occurs only\
when the suspect’s restraint is more rigorous than the\
institutional norm. See, e.g., Garcia v. Singletary, 13 F.3d 1487,\
1491 (11th Cir. 1994); United States v. Conley, 779 F.2d 970, 973\
(4th Cir. 1985); Cervantes v. Walker, 589 F.2d 424, 428 (9th Cir.\
1978).\
