Can a child of a Federal Prisoner file a lawsuit against the FBOP for cruel and unusual punnishment?
Both mother and father are serving time in federal prison facilities. Mother has become ill in prison due to the conditions there and is being refused medical care. She has filed complaints and requested medical attention. Medical care is still refused and now they are punitively transferring her to a higher security facility that her minimum security status doesn't legally qualify her to be confined there. At this other facility it would be virtually impossible for her daughter to visit her since it is a 13 to 14 hour drive. Also the visiting regulations are so restrictive that they restrict physical contact and the child would only be allowed minimal physical contact with her mother. The child is only 4 years old. Her mother was supposed to be in a minimum security camp for term of her sentence. The BOP has determined they are converting the camp where she was into an all male facility. Most all the women were transferred to other camps, not to FCI's that have medium security procedures and restrictions. This is very damaging to the child and she is suffering severe emotional trauma having been virtually orphaned by the federal system.
