Do you think this is fair? Black man suing jail after refusing protect custody?

A black man in my town infected 4 teenage girls and 2 KNOWN adult women with HIV. He was taken into custody and refused to be placed in protective custody because he didn't want to appear weak 4 Aryan nation members cut his arm off with a shank now the black man wants to sue corrections because they failed to keep him safe, he is a 26 year old migrant of Sudan do you think it's fair for the department of corrections to be sued when he refused protective custody?
