• holding that an “inmate”— one who has been adjudicated guilty of a crime—has a right to medical care enshrined in the Nos. 20-5585/21-5545 Colson v. City of Alcoa Page 5 Eighth Amendment
• holding the due process clause provides no greater protection than does the Eighth Amendment’s cruel and unusual punishment clause
• noting that in “the prison security context, the Due Process Clause affords...no greater protection than does” the Eighth Amendment
• noting that a plaintiff must show “obduracy and wantonness” rather than “inadvertence or error in good faith.”
• explaining that a prison official would violate the Eighth Amendment if he “acted maliciously or sadistically toward [a prisoner] in denying him water”
• finding that, if “the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the plaintiff, will support a reliable inference of wantonness in the infliction of pain,” the case should “go to the jury”
