my son was raped and beaten while incarnated

The U.S. Supreme Court held that prison officials can be liable if it is proven they act with deliberate indifference to an inmate’s health or safety that results in serious harm. This can be illustrated if officials know a prisoner may face a substantial risk of serious harm and they disregard this risk by failing to take reasonable measures to prevent it. It is not necessary to prove criminal wrongdoing or actual knowledge of an impending attack or potential danger. “Deliberate indifference” was characterized as “subjective recklessness.” It should be noted that lesser standards (in some cases, negligence) can be enough under state law to impose liability for failure to protect an inmate from sexual assault.
