Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Dreyer v. Jalet is the only court case among the four given options that deals with the issue of building tenders being given access to weapons (pipes, bats, and clubs) to maintain discipline on behalf of regular guards in a prison setting. In this case, the inmates argued that this practice violated their Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment, and the court ultimately ruled in their favor.
