Hudson v. McMillian

Explanation:

This case was based to decide if use of physical attack against any prisoner can be constituted as cruel and unusual punishment or not while the prisoner had not suffered any grave injury.

The case was that Keith Hudson, a prisoner was thrashed by jack Macmillan and Marvin woods who were prisoner guard. It was done in presence of Arthur Mezo who was the supervisor of the two guards.  

Hudson then sued those guards in Federal district court. Hudson claim was that his eight amendment right was violated of being free from cruel and unusual punishment.

The decision of district court was that the force was used by guard, even though it was not needed in those circumstances, therefore held the guard guilty. But the decision was overturned in Fifth circuit court by giving judgement that prisoner should show the serious injury to claim his Eighth Amendment right.

Thus, in the given question same case in being mentioned as question says inmate was made to sit on chair and hit by officer in presence of lieutenant.
