Abstract:
In Washington v. Ondrejka, 822 Fed. Appx. 104 (3d Cir.), plaintiff Washington complained in a Sec. 1983 action of being assaulted by the CERT team at Pennsylvania’s Camp Hill Prison. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendants and is upheld here. Plaintiff is not exactly one of those spots. The decision is a good example of where the courts view the use of force in general, and restraint chairs in particular, when an inmate resists a cell extraction.Keywords: Cell Extraction; Use of Force; Washington v.
