Description
On May 16, 1966, appellant, Jewell James Williams, filed a "First Amended Complaint" against the United States of America, five named individuals -- as members of the Board of Supervisors of San Diego County, the sheriff of San Diego County, and the County of San Diego. Said complaint prayed for damages on account of injuries suffered by appellant while a federal prisoner housed in the San Diego County Jail under the terms of a contract between the County and the United States, said contract having been authorized by the provisions of 18 U.S.C. ? 4002. The complaint stated that the district court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. ? 1346, the provision waiving sovereign immunity in connection with suits against the United States, and also by reason of 28 U.S.C. Chapter 171, the Federal Tort Claims Act. In a separate paragraph it was alleged that all the named defendants owed plaintiff a duty under 18 U.S.C. ? 4042, which section defines the duties of the Bureau of Prisons, and that each of the defendants negligently performed this duty.
