Answer 1

That's jail, stupid! That's why people don't want to GO to jail! If it was just a matter of being behind bars, and holding onto the bars and saying "let me outta here" you'd have bums volunteering to go to jail!

Answer 2

Sure you can. But I think it will be a hard case to win because this type of thing happens all the time in Jail. So now you need proof or witnesses both of which is almost impossible to get from inside a prison. The other person may just say it was self-defense. So its his word against your brothers word.

Answer 3

Anytime force is used in a jail an incident report is done. You can get a copy of this through open records. That would be your first step. I would check the report and find out what the circumstances were before I spend a lot of time and money looking for vengence.

Answer 4

Hire a lawyer & sue. Brother has a lawyer already? Have him sue also. There will be an investigation by law & people will be charged with assult. Put your story in the news papers & state who you contacted & their comments. People need to know the real conditions inside the walls of a prison/jail.

Answer 5

Yes, the jail can be successfully sued.

A friend of mine was held overnight for a simple traffic infraction that he had never attended to, and was beaten up by a group of five while he was in a large holding cell. He received a monetary settlement of, some $600,000 or $650,000, after suing the jail. But, last year, he died of the lingering effects of the beating he had received some five years earlier.

NOTE: The incident took place in the State of California, USA.

Answer 6

The right to sue is a personal right. If your brother was beaten up, he has the right to sue, not you.

Make an appointment with a lawyer / solicitor / avocat licensed to practice in your particular province of Canada.

You have not really mentioned enough facts for me to give any good advice. We don't know who beat up your brother, whether it was guards or other inmates, or the circumstances surrounding the beating.
