Reversing summary judgment in favor of defendant, finding issue of fact whether classification officer was deliberately indifferent where decedent with several risk factors had previously attempted suicide at jail, was medically cleared to general population, got into altercation with other inmates, then was placed in solitary where he hung himself; court concludes medical clearance to place someone in general population is not the same as medical clearance to place him in solitary with access to bedsheets and barred windows.
