Description
It is undisputed that on August 24, 1995, while in segregation, plaintiff George Wyatt was raped by a fellow inmate. A year later he filed this § 1983 civil rights action against prison employees seeking damages for cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment. Specifically, plaintiff alleges that the defendant prison employees were deliberately indifferent to his safety when they placed him in a cell with a known sex offender and then provided inadequate medical and psychological care after the rape.
