We Help Those Hurt By Jail And Prison Misconduct
McGraw Law & Associates fights against jail and prison abuse. Jails and prisons are required to keep people in their custody reasonably safe. This includes keeping people safe from others, making sure people get reasonable medical treatment, and ensuring people are housed in humane conditions.
When jails and prisons fail to meet these requirements and someone is injured, the institutions need to be held responsible.
In addition to jails and prisons failing to protect people, sometimes the prison officials themselves abuse the very people who are supposed to be keeping them safe. This is illegal and a violation of civil rights.
McGraw Law, LLC, brings claims against jail and prison abuse and mistreatment that includes:
- Failing to give reasonable medical care
- Failing to protect from physical and sexual assaults
- Guards using excessive force or sexually abusing people
- Inhumane conditions, including wrongful solitary confinement
Johnson v. Sierra County 2:16-CV-11
The law firm successfully sued a jail, detention officers and jail administrators for wrongfully holding her client in segregation and failing to protect him from attacks by other inmates. While in segregation, her client was held continually in a small cell with no meaningful human contact and no access to the outdoors. These conditions have been found to violate a person’s constitutional right to due process and to constitute cruel and unusual punishment. The abuse left her client with PTSD and physical injuries.
