Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

The hands-off doctrine assumes that the care of prisoners should be left to prison
o officials and that it is not the place of judges to intervene. This doctrine started to end in the 1970s.
The Supreme Court created two standards to be used by the courts in
o determining whether a prisoner's Eight Amendment protections against cruel and
unusual punishment have been violated.
Under the deliberate indifference standard, prisoners must show that prison
o officials were aware of harmful conditions at the facility but failed to remedy them.
Under the identifiable human needs standard, prisoners must show that they were
o denied a basic need such as food, warmth, or exercise.
