“In prison condition cases, prison officials act with a requisite culpable intent when they act with deliberate indifference to the inmates' suffering.... [¶] The test for whether a prison official acts with deliberate indifference is a subjective one: the official must `know[] of and disregard[] an excessive risk to inmate health and safety; the official must both be aware of the facts from which the inference could be drawn that a substantial risk of serious harm exists, and he must also draw the inference.'”

McCarthy, 801 F.2d 1080, 1091-92 (9th Cir.1986)], administrative segregation ... is within the terms of confinement ordinarily contemplated by a sentence. [¶] Second, prison officials have a legitimate penological interest in administrative segregation, and they must be given `wide-ranging deference in the adoption and execution of policies and practices that in their judgment are needed to preserve internal order and discipline and to maintain institutional security.'”
