Supreme Court to review inmate lawsuit over untreated prison riot injury
The Supreme Court will review a lawsuit involving a nurse accused of failing to treat an inmate's injuries during a prison riot, focusing on precedents allowing lawsuits against federal officers for constitutional violations. The case centers on whether the court should limit the scope of the Carlson v. Green and Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents rulings, which enable inmates to sue for medical neglect.
