Does a failure of a locking mechanism in a part of a jail result in an assault or injury?

Noonkester alleges that the locking mechanism separating his part of the jail once failed, leaving him in danger of assault from penal inmates. Id. at 7. This claims doubly fails because Noonkester points to no specific harm, other than passing fear, and doesn't alleged that the lock's failure was a deliberate policy, meaning it was, at most, the type of "negligent act of an official" that Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 328 (1986) (emphasis omitted), held not cognizable under the Due Process Clause.
