What did the court decide in Estelle v. Gamble?

Answered for: US

We therefore conclude that deliberate indifference to serious medical needs of prisoners constitutes the "unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain,"

The Court set the deliberate-indifference standard for prisoner medical claims and separately restated that a pro se complaint is to be liberally construed.
