This lesson provides legal training for jailers and correctional  officers through an analysis of three Target Cases answering the  following questions:

• What are a jail official’s responsibilities when a prisoner shows signs of “excited delirium”?

• What consequences can jail officials impose on pretrial detainees who refuse to cooperate with practices implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19?

• At what point will a delay in addressing a jail inmate’s serious medical needs constitute a constitutional violation?
