United States Tenth Circuit
Peoples v. CCA Detention Ctrs., 04-3071 & 04-3124
Upon rehearing en banc, judgments denying relief in two actions brought alleging that plaintiff's constitutional rights were violated during his pretrial detention at a privately run prison under contract with the U.S. Marshals Service are reversed in part as to a judgment finding a lack of jurisdiction over the claims, and affirmed by a divided court as to a judgment addressing the question of whether a Bivens action is available against employees of a privately-operated prison.
