In a prison in america, an inmate was severely injured from an electric shock caused by a loose wire. the prison warden was aware that the loose wire could harm the inmates but failed to fix the issue. in this scenario, the warden can be charged of violating the inmate's eighth amendment rights on the basis of

Cruel and unusual punishment

Explanation:

The Eight Amendment forbids cruel and unusual punishment  and that's why it is very important for prisoners, who often complain of unfair and brutal treatments while serving a prison sentence.

It protects the inmates from guard brutality, unsanitary and dangerous living and health conditions, and gives them the right to medical treatment in prison.

The warden abused the right of the prisoner to safety and can be charged with deliberate negligence since he was aware of the loose wire and did not fix it.
