Answer to Question 2

Courts no longer follow a hands off policy of letting correctional administrators run their facilities in any way they choose. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Cooper v. Pate (1964) paved the way for prisoners to sue prison officials in federal courts when their Constitutional rights are violated. To be successful, the inmate must show deliberate indifference to his/her plight by the correctional staff. These actions may range from allegations of improper medical care to overcrowding in the facility to the number of guards on duty.
