Abstract: 

Although 15-year-old T.D.S. was found to be healthy when he was admitted to the Oklahoma County Juvenile Detention Center (OCJDC) on April 7, 2008, three days later, he began to develop health problems that would eventually lead to his death. In Anserson v. DiGuglielmo, 2011 U.S. App. LEXIS 1104 (3d Cir. January 20, 2011), the circuit court examined the question of harm in an Eighth Amendment claim. James R. Anderson was incarcerated in the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution at Graterford on May 10, 2005, when he began having a severe headache at about 11 p.m. It was decided to take him to the dispensary after the inmate count. Edward Roe, Anthony Stasiak, Timothy Stephen, and Jonathan Walker all are currently or were formerly incarcerated in the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC). All were diagnosed with hepatitis C either before or during their periods of incarceration.
