I am the evil monkey in your closet
This is gonna be a huge lawsuit.

SPRINGDALE - Hour after hour, for four full days, Adriana Torres-Flores was locked away and forgotten in 8 1/2-by-9 1/2-foot cell in the Washington County Courthouse, with only a metal table, two benches and a light bulb that never went out. She had nothing to eat or drink. There was no toilet. Thursday passed. Then Friday, Saturday and Sunday - although Torres-Flores had no watch to tell the time. She slept on the floor with her head on a shoe.
She drank her own urine, she said.
Panicked and afraid she would die, Torres-Flores pounded on the steel door with her hands and feet, and yelled. No one heard her. The threat of snow had thinned the courthouse staff Friday.
The building was closed all weekend.
It was Monday morning before the bailiff who had put her in the holding cell, intending to have her taken to jail, opened the door and realized his mistake.

Ha! Yeah! If you read the article, she is an illegal, her daughter translates for her, her husband is unemployed, she is up for deportation, but she already has an attorney. Pro bono anyone?

If an illegal alien is locked up for a weekend in solitary does it make a noise?

What is the sound of a legally non-existent person pounding on a locked door?

Saltamontes, if you can sneak over my border, and not get caught, then you shall be free............. to work low paying jobs with no health care while under a constant threat of being kicked the hell out of the country and having to do it all over again.

If it's a lawsuit, it sounds worse than it'll be.

Forgetting a chick in a holding cell... negligent. Not reckless. She'll need to establish recklessness to recover... unless she tries the "Shocks the conscience" route... which... may work, but is usually a "last resort" sort of claim.
