LeBlanc v. Crittendon

Issues: (1) Whether high-ranking state prison officials violate a prisoner’s constitutional rights by failing to promulgate policies cajoling independent, locally elected sheriffs to do their jobs timely and efficiently; (2) whether any clearly established law warned Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections officials that they would be held personally liable for failing to promulgate such policies; and (3) whether any clearly established law warned state prison officials that they would be held personally liable for failing to respond for 17 days to reports of phone calls from family members of persons incarcerated in a local parish jail.
