Because the law dictating inmates’ rights is complex, it’s important to have an experienced prison death lawyer on your side. We have the knowledge and experience advocating for prisoners’ rights to surviving family members in prison suicide and wrongful death cases.
While hundreds of laws exist stating what an inmate is entitled to and prevented from doing, our prisoner rights experts can navigate them, determine which ones apply to your situation and potential case.
You may be entitled to compensation due to a violation of one of these commonly abused rights. Inmates have the right to:
- Protection from guards and other inmates.
- Mental health resources.
- Be kept on suicide watch.
- Fair treatment, free from excessive use of force and brutality.
- Medical attention.
- Monitoring of medical conditions.
- Proper medications being administered.
- Protection from illegal use of tasers, batons, and abuse.
