They don't just put inmates in isolation because they're a danger to other prisoners or c/o's. They put them there often times because they're at risk if phyisical injury. Why? Because if they suffer injury, and the prison didn't do everything to protect them, the prison is liable.
The federal government employs hundreds of attorneys to handle cases by prisoners against the prisons, correctional offiicers and wardens. You both couldn't be more wrong.

You really don't know what you are talking about. Suicide is typically charged as a criminal offense. No self respecting lawyer would take that on, because you'd have to prove that the suicide attempt was involuntary.
