United States Seventh Circuit

Strip search and body-contents search of inmate as part of a random drug-testing program did not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment. Being made to stand naked in a bathroom stall for twenty minutes until producing a urine sample is not a "sufficiently serious" condition of confinement to rise to the level of a constitutional violation.
