ORDER

F. KEITH BALL, Magistrate Judge.

Darile Lee Johnson brought this action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 challenging the conditions at the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond, Mississippi (HCDC). Presently before the Court is Defendants' motion for summary judgment [28]. Plaintiff has failed to respond to the motion.1 Having considered the motion, Plaintiff's complaint, and his testimony at the Spears2 hearing, the Court concludes that the motion should be granted and this action dismissed with prejudice.

Johnson was housed as a pretrial detainee at HCDC from January of 2012 until the latter part of that same year. He filed his complaint in April of 2012, and a Spears hearing was held in October 2012. In his complaint, he alleged that showers and other areas at HCDC were infested with mold, that metal surfaces were rusted, that the food was often cold and undercooked, that food trays were not cleaned adequately, and that the kitchen area was infested with rats and bugs. He complained that he contracted athlete's foot from the showers and that he suffered from vomiting and stomach aches as a result of problems with the food. Johnson also complained that doors at the facility were not adequately secured, such that inmates would frequently rob and attack other inmates. Finally, he alleged that during his first week at the jail, he was placed in an over-crowded holding tank and was forced to sleep on the floor. At the Spears hearing, Johnson admitted that since the filing of his lawsuit, prison officials had secured the doors and that security had improved. He maintained that the other conditions persisted.

Pretrial detainees have a due process right not to be subjected to jail conditions that constitute punishment. Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 535 (1979); Hamilton v. Lyons, 74 F.3d 99, 103 (5th Cir. 1996). "Punishment" is "usually the manifestation of an explicit policy or restriction." Shepherd v. Dallas Cnty., 591 F.3d 445, 453 (5th Cir. 2009). However, it can also be manifested by a de facto policy if a pattern of conduct or condition is sufficiently extended or pervasive such that intent to punish may be presumed. Id. at 452. Proving the existence of a de facto policy "is a heavy burden." Id. Furthermore, the punishment is impermissible only if it bears no reasonable relationship to a legitimate governmental interest and if it causes a violation of a detainee's constitutional rights. Duvall v. Dallas Cnty., 631 F.3d 203, 207 (5th Cir. 2011). A constitutional violation occurs when the complained of condition results in "serious deficiencies" in providing for the detainee's "basic human needs." Shepherd, 591 F.3d at 454. In the present case, Plaintiff describes conditions which are troubling and which were undoubtedly uncomfortable. However, he has not come forward with evidence of conditions that resulted in his being deprived of his basic human needs. The Court concludes that Plaintiff has failed to establish a genuine issue of material fact. Accordingly, Defendants' motion for summary judgment is hereby granted. A separate judgment will be entered.
