Case Study and Qualitative Presentation #3

(Topics 8 & 9)

Case Study

You are working as a Correctional Officer (CO) on the night shift at a local jail. The jail currently houses 125 inmates (90 men and 35 women), which is above the 115 capacity. The overcrowding has caused increased conflict among inmates and additional work hours for correctional officers, including forced overtime. During your shift, a mentally ill inmate who is often in a manic state, assaulted another CO. Thankfully, the CO was not seriously injured because the inmate was quickly subdued by you and other CO’s. The injured CO wants to, “teach him a lesson” and puts the manic inmate into a cell with two other known violent inmates. The CO encourages the other violent inmates to “take care” of him. You believe the mentally ill inmate will get seriously harmed by the other violent inmates. Intentionally exposing the mentally ill inmate to an unsafe condition(s) is likely a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

What is the more appropriate resolution? Why is this case a likely violation of the Eighth Amendment?

Task

The manic prisoner scenario provides insight into how Eighth Amendment violations may occur in a prison setting. Presume that the mentally ill inmate was seriously battered or injured by the other violent inmates, which required medical treatment. Family members of the mentally ill inmate became aware of the incident and hired an attorney to file suit against the correctional facility.
