Supreme Court to hear case on prison rape cruel punishment
A lawyer for a transgender inmate, Dee Farmer, argues the 1989 rape in a Terre Haute federal prison for men constitutes cruel and unusual punishment. Farmer, 27, with implants and known as Mr. Farmer by staff, was serving a 20 year fraud sentence when the assault occurred on April 1 1989. The case presses protection duties owed by prison officials to inmates in danger from fellow inmates. Meanwhile a 3.7 magnitude earthquake centered near Santa Monica rattled Southern California. No damage or injuries reported.
