Farmer v. Brennan 511 U.S. 825 (1994) was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that a prison official’s deliberate indifference to a substantial risk of serious harm to an inmate violates the cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment. An amicus brief was submitted by Stop Prisoner Rape which lauded the decision.
