Supervision.
45. Supervision
U.S. Appeals Court Calderon-Ortiz v. Laboy-Alvarado, 300 F.3d 60
(1st Cir. 2002). A former pretrial detainee
FAILURE TO brought a [section] 1983 action against
SUPERVISE officials, alleging failure to protect him from
other inmates. The district court dismissed the
action. The appeals court reversed and remanded,
finding that the detainee's complaint
sufficiently stated a claim. The detainee
alleged he had been forcibly sodomized by other
inmates, that officials were aware that inmates
were being housed without adequate regard to
their custody and security needs, and that staff
did not provide adequate supervision. (Bayamon
