What is the test for finding a prison official guilty of failing to protect an inmate from physical abuse?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Roberts v. Deleon, Case No. 1:18-cv-01551-JDP (E.D. Cal. 2019):
Prison officials have a duty to take reasonable steps to protect inmates from physical abuse. See Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825, 832-33 (1994). To establish a violation of this duty, the prisoner must show first, that he was incarcerated under conditions posing a substantial risk of serious harm; and second, that a prison official knew of and was deliberately indifferent to this risk. See id. at 834.
