Husband’s dad is in federal detention because of a conspiracy. His trial is in a few months, a few weeks ago he had a hurt foot and broke it and it took them a week or so to take care of him and also they took a pdf from him.

Answer

A person in custody has the same constitution rights whether he/she is in federal, state or local detention. Make sure your father-in-law has notified his attorney of the situation, and an evaluation can be made if a civil rights violation has occurred.
