Q: police department inmates malnutrition and cross contamination is grounds for a lawsuit?
tiny hamburger served at each meal. and its warmed in another room after being taken out of package. wrapped in brown paper towel and set on the bars or food service slot. I was there for 3 days and not one time was it cleaned so no doubt the bars are unsanitary. And I was so hungry. upon release I attempted to walk home but never made. Had to use a library's phone to call a ride cause my body was so week i just couldn't walk any more. to me that is a major problem. Am I wrong?
A: Well three days will probably not get you there as for damages. Section 1984 of the Civil Rights Act prohibits deprivation of rights under color of law but yo must prove damages. Sorry but I doubt you would have sufficient damages.
