Tory Lanez sues prison for $100M

The lawsuit claims that Peterson should never have been housed with the individual who reportedly stabbed him 16 times.

Peterson's legal team argues that prison officials failed to provide adequate security and ignored known risks to his safety.

The rapper is seeking damages for physical injuries and emotional distress resulting from the unprovoked assault.

State officials have not yet commented on the pending litigation, which has drawn significant attention to inmate safety in the California penal system.
