The following excerpt is from Cranford v. Risley, Case No. 1:15-cv-00949 DLB PC (E.D. Cal. 2015):

The courts have commonly applied Eighth Amendment standards to claims made by civil detainees under the Fourteenth Amendment. See e.g., Frost v. Agnos, 152 F.3d 1124, 1128 (9th Cir.1998) (applying Eighth Amendment standards to evaluate pretrial detainees' Fourteenth Amendment claims).
