Case Summary

On November 24, 2013, a prisoner detained at Cook County Jail (CCJ) filed a handwritten civil action against Cook County in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff asked the Court for injunctive and declaratory relief, claiming that violence and the deliberate indifference of staff at the jail deprived him of his rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments.

On November 24, 2013, a prisoner detained at Cook County Jail (CCJ) filed a handwritten civil action against Cook County in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiff asked the Court for injunctive and declaratory relief, claiming that violence and the deliberate indifference of staff at the jail deprived him of his rights under the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments. The case was assigned to the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall, who allowed the indigent plaintiff to proceed without payment of court fees.

On February 27, 2014, the plaintiff, represented by the Roderick Macarthur Justice Center and Uptown People's Law Center, and joined by several other prisoner-plaintiffs, filed an amended class action complaint. The plaintiffs alleged a longstanding and systemic set of abuses performed by officials at CCJ. They claimed that CCJ officials implicitly authorized abusive conditions by refusing to promulgate adequate policies on overcrowding, use of force, and segregation. The plaintiffs alleged they were stomped, kicked, and punched by officers at the facility, often while handcuffed. When prisoners complained about the violence or made any effort to defend themselves from the officers' attacks, they were often retaliated against by placement in segregation for up to 23 hours per day, causing distress and violence in these units. Raw sewage frequently flooded these cells, creating serious risks to health and safety. The plaintiffs also sought certification as a class encompassing all residents of their section of the CCJ.

On March 8, 2014, the plaintiffs requested a preliminary injunction, asking that the court impose a remedial plan against the defendants with respect to the ongoing violence at the facility. The defendants, meanwhile, filed a motion to dismiss on May 5, 2014, arguing that the plaintiffs had stated no constitutional claim. On May 8, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion to compel discovery. On May 21, 2014, the Honorable Young B. Kim granted the motion in part, ordering the defendants to produce documents and video footage from CCJ. The court also ordered that the defendants allow a joint tour of the facility by experts for the plaintiffs, accompanied by experts for the defendants.

On June 10, 2014, the court granted the defendants' discovery request that plaintiffs produce forms filled out by additional prisoners containing information about conditions at the facility. The forms had been sent by the plaintiffs' attorneys to various prisoners for the purpose adding potential plaintiffs to the litigation's putative class. The court ruled the forms were not protected by attorney client privilege and should be provided to the defendant. 2014 WL 2598814.

On March 31, 2015, Judge Kendall issued a 50-page opinion and order, denying in part the defendants' motion to dismiss, and also denying the plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunctions. 2013 WL 6858884. The motions to dismiss claims against defendants Cook County and Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle were denied, while claims against a CCJ officer were dismissed. Motions to dismiss were denied on the basis that the evidence showed a question of fact as to whether the defendants' had managed the CCJ with indifference to the plaintiffs' wellbeing. The plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction was denied because it failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success as to their claim of deliberate indifference, and because jail officials had shown they were already working to address the problems alleged by the plaintiffs.

This opinion was appealed to the Seventh Circuit by the plaintiffs on April 17, 2015 (15-1833). However, on August 20, 2015 the appeal was withdrawn and the plaintiffs filed a motion to dismiss their injunctive claims. The motion explained that it was "sensible" to end the injunctive portion of the litigation because the District Court's opinion on the preliminary injunction had made it "clear that the Court agreed with Defendants’ assessment of the evidence."

On November 16, 2015, plaintiff Hudson filed an amended complaint seeking monetary damages and attorneys' fees. The other plaintiffs were no longer named and retained only jail staff as defendants, rather than the County executives previously named. The amended complaint focused on allegations that CCJ staff had allowed or facilitated a gang attack on the plaintiff, in violation of the Fourteenth and Eighth Amendments and federal civil rights law.

On December 23, 2015, the defendants replied to the amended complaint seeking summary judgement in their favor. But by September 23, 2016, the suit was voluntarily dismissed by the parties pursuant to an undisclosed settlement, with each side bearing its own fees, three days before the trial was planned to begin. On September 26, 2016, the dismissal was changed to be dismissed with prejudice. The case was closed on September 26. The Clearinghouse does not have access to the details of the settlement as of November 16, 2019.

Between October 28, 2018 and September 3, 2019, eleven prisoners wrote to the court seeking admission to the class. To each letter, the court declared that "the case has been closed for two years and there is no pending matter in which" the petitioners "can participate under this case number." As of November 16, 2019, the case remained closed.
