Question Presented (from Petition)

Can a prison or jail, when transferring an inmate to a mental health facility, avoid the due process protections recognized by this Court in Vitek v. Jones, 445 U.S. 480 (1980) by (a) transferring the inmate to a mental health facility that is administratively controlled by the prison or jail, or (b) labeling the transfer, which in Mr. Hill's case lasted 41 days, "temporary"?
