You will have to prove that the prison medical staff or guard staff some how violated the normal standard of care in caring for the prisoners. You will not win just because some of them got infected. You will be looking at a lot of money to hire experts to prove the standard of care. Most attorneys will not want to get involved because of the costs involved.
