The fact that the prison knows that prisoners in isolation and on death row are more prone to suicide attempts means that they need to take proper care to ensure that the inmates don't have opportunity to attempt suicide.
You're obviously the one that doesn't know what he's talking about. These cases exist, states and the federal government pay on them in and out of court. That is a fact. I really don't know how you could possibly think that saying "no lawyer would take that" means anything. I guess all the thousands of lawyers in the country are doing so well they don't need to sue the states and Fed for money. Not to mention organizations like the Lewisburg Prison Project who bring suits against the prisons all the time.

Can you give me one case study of this?
