A South Carolina inmate serving a twenty-five-year sentence for second-degree murder was recently diagnosed as HIV-positive. He had argued for years that he should be tested and believed the correctional facility did very little to accommodate this request. Given this information, answer the following questions.Following the above decision, the inmate's lawyer cited the case of Hope v. Pelzer, which ruled that:
 
  A) improper medical care constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.
  B) correctional officials who knowingly violate an inmate's Eighth Amendment rights can be held liable for damages.
  C) inmates who have their Eighth Amendment rights violated should be immediately released or have their sentence reduced.
  D) prisoners should be given special privileges if they are diagnosed with or contract a disease that is detrimental to the health of the prison population.
  E) due process requirements are satisfied when a prisoner has an opportunity to be heard.
