There is little argument that being incarcerated is a scary experience. When someone is taken into custody, we assume that that the government will provide the basic care required and uphold an inmate’s legal rights. While an inmate does not have the same rights as they had before they were incarcerated, they do have protections against cruel and unusual punishment, access to medical care, and protection from other inmates. When these basic rights are not enforced, serious harm can result.
