Is witholding pain meds to an inmate that has cancer a form of torture and against the constatution?

I have an uncle that has Mesothelioma cancer and happens to be an inmate at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina. He recently called me and told me something disturbing. He says he gets severe pains all over his chest and it runs to his legs, hes asked several times for help and one night the pain was so bad that he screamed and cried for help including his fellow inmates protested to the nurse in charge but the nurse in charge just mocked him! and said ” oh hes just another inmate ” and didn’t do anything to help him. The doctor attending him also ignores his pleas for help and sends another male nurse to flip him over and put a morphine patch on him once in a while. Once that male nurse flipped him over so hard, he dropped my uncle off the bed and just left him there on the floor, mind you my uncle can no longer move. My uncle also speaks very little english and says he and his other spanish speaking friends get treated very differently in a bad way.I mean isn’t treating a sick dying man in severe pain like this some form of torture?!! i don’t know what to do to help him or get an investigation going? please anyone if you have any advice or guidance for me, please do help.
