Should the government automatically be held liable when a prison inmate is killed by another inmate?

Asked by JaneraSolomon (1168points) January 30th, 2012

Jeffrey Dahmer was the worst of the worst, a murderer and a cannibal. He was killed by another inmate in 1994. Sure, people might be glad he’s gone, but isn’t this by definition clear negligence on the part of the prison? If not, it would seem to be an unofficial and therefore illegal execution that the prison participates in by not preventing it.
