1Opinion of the Court
LEAVY, Circuit Judge:
Clifton Redman was raped while confined at the South Bay Detention Facility, a jail operated by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. Redman brought an action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against the County and various jail officials and employees.
The district court granted a directed verdict in favor of the defendants. The court determined that Redman had failed to present evidence sufficient for a reasonable jury to conclude that Redman had been treated with “reckless indifference” or with “callous disregard” for his safety.
We consider this case en banc after a panel…
