Where a person is detained the detaining authority owes a duty to take reasonable care to prevent self-harm; Defendants breached that duty by providing an extra pair of pants and detaining the deceased in a cell with a grill and by failing to monitor continuously (CCTV and patrols), causally enabling the suicide; novus actus and contributory negligence defenses fail; Plaintiffs succeed on negligence only and are entitled to specified damages and costs.
