Show Notes
Brandon Case, a prisoner at Central Prison, was brutally attacked by another inmate in 2020 due to guards leaving key doors unlocked. Case, now 37, filed a lawsuit against the guards for negligence and is advocating for safety measures to prevent future assaults. The incident occurred when general population inmates and safekeepers were mixed up, leading to the attack. Case suffered severe facial injuries, requiring multiple surgeries and causing constant pain and disfigurement. A lower court initially dismissed the case, but a U.S. appeals court panel revived it, ruling that jurors should decide if the officers showed deliberate indifference to the risks. This case could set a precedent for holding guards accountable in similar situations.
