An officer having no management role in the jail hands the papers to an unrelated visitor and files a statement that the prisoner probably heard of the suit. No authorized service on the confined defendant is established. Which is best?
- Rumor of the suit conclusively proves Section8 compliance
- Any visitor automatically becomes special sheriff
- The stated facts do not establish the prisoner-service route; the authorized officer and actual service requirements must be shown
- Confinement removes all procedural safeguards
- The visitor’s signature automatically proves personal delivery to the prisoner
