MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Boese, 967 F.2d 592 (9th Cir. 1992):
Boese correctly observes that the eighth amendment requires that his conditions of incarceration comport with evolving standards of decency. Wright v. Rushen, 642 F.2d 1129, 1133 (9th Cir.1981). Those standards focus, however, on "adequate food, clothing, shelter, sanitation, medical care, and personal safety." Id. at 1132-33.
