The Justice Department says a Mississippi prison violates the constitution, specifically the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.
Parchman State Penitentiary is accused of routinely infringing the constitutional rights of people incarcerated by:
failing to provide adequate mental health treatment to people with serious mental health needs; failing to take sufficient suicide prevention measures to protect people at risk of self-harm; subjecting people to prolonged isolation in solitary confinement in egregious conditions that place their physical and mental health at substantial risk of serious harm; and
failing to protect incarcerated people from violence at the hands of other incarcerated people.
Here is a cell phone video taken by one of the inmates showing the conditions of the prison.
