Whether the Eighth Amendment permits a rule treating an incarcerated person as capable of giving legally effective consent to sexual conduct with a prison official

All fifty states, the District of Columbia, and federal law make it a crime for a prison official to engage in sexual conduct with an incarcerated person, deeming consent legally irrelevant. The question presented is: Whether the Eighth Amendment, which is interpreted according to "evolving standards of decency," permits a contrary rule that treats an incarcerated person as capable of giving legally effective consent to sexual conduct with a prison official.
