How courts have described this case

• holding that that the absence of a formal training program is not always “constitutionally inadequate”
• applying the deliberate indifference standard to the plaintiffs’ claims that they were improperly detained for weeks after their court-ordered release due to administrative failures
• affirming grant of qualified immunity for officers who detained the plaintiff for an additional 23 days because of faulty, though unintentional, administration of bond-notification
• explaining that to hold a supervisor defendant liable for a constitutional violation a plaintiff must show deliberate indifference to constitutional rights or facts that support an inference that the supervisor knew the subordinate would act unlawfully and failed to stop him from doing so
• describing the deliberate indifference standard as “a difficult burden for a plaintiff to meet.”
• reviewing continued detention beyond proper release date for potential Fourteenth Amendment due process violation
