Case Summary

On May 16, 1996, all inmates in the custody of the Florida Department of Corrections filed a class action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Tallahassee Division.

The class action began with the filing of a pro se case by one inmate on June 2, 1993. Thereafter, two other inmates filed similar actions. The Magistrate Judge William Sherrill Jr. consolidated the three cases. A Consolidated Amended Complaint was filed on May 16, 1996, alleging a class consisting of "all persons, other than death-sentenced persons, who are currently in the custody of the Florida Department of Corrections, or who will come into the custody of the Florida Department of Corrections, and who will be restrained with the black box security device while being transported between one secure facility and another secure facility in a transport van operated by employees of the Florida Department of Corrections." After the class was certified, a bench trial was held on April 16, 1997. Judge Robert Hinkle dismissed claims of the plaintiff class with prejudice and judgment was entered for the defendants.

The plaintiffs appealed to the Eleventh Circuit. On January 29, 1999, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's decision without a reported opinion.
