Case Summary

On August 18, 2011, a class of incarcerated people filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under 42 U.S.C. 1983 for cruel and unusual punishment against the New York City Department of Corrections (DOC). The plaintiffs, represented by the Legal Aid Society and Emery Celli, asked the court for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and damages, claiming that DOC officers routinely inflicted wanton physical violence on prisoners and deliberately falsifi…

On August 18, 2011, a class of incarcerated people filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under 42 U.S.C. 1983 for cruel and unusual punishment against the New York City Department of Corrections (DOC). The plaintiffs, represented by the Legal Aid Society and Emery Celli, asked the court for declaratory relief, injunctive relief, and damages, claiming that DOC officers routinely inflicted wanton physical violence on prisoners and deliberately falsified records to prevent discovery of their illegal actions.

Claims against the New York City DOC have been numerous and often successful over the past twenty-five years (Fisher v. Koehler, Reynolds v. Ward, Jackson v. Montemango, Sheppard v. Phoenix, Ingles v. Toro). The plaintiffs claimed that former policies were re-instituted as soon as the injunctions expired, or that the injunctions were interpreted narrowly enough to provide room for explicit cruelty. The plaintiffs claimed that officers frequently took prisoners to areas without video cameras or other witnesses, and then beat them. The plaintiffs claimed to have suffered multiple injuries as a result of these abuses, including broken bones, concussions, and other emergency conditions requiring hospitalization and surgery. Finally, the plaintiffs claimed that the defendants routinely falsified documents or fabricated disciplinary charges to cover up their own unlawful conduct or that of their colleagues. The city often would allegedly promote the worst offenders.

On January 7, 2013, the Court (Magistrate Judge James C. Francis IV) granted class certification to the plaintiffs, defining the class as: all present and future inmates confined in jails operated by the New York City DOC, except for the Elmhurst and Bellevue Prison Wards.

Meanwhile, on January 12, 2012, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York informed the city that they were undertaking an investigation of the prison conditions on Rikers Island under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act. The DOJ issued a findings letter in that matter, reporting the frequent use of excessive force, inadequate systematic supervision, and prolonged punitive solitary confinement on August 4, 2014. A press release is available on the Department of Justice's website. That is discussed in the CRIPA investigation page.

On December 18, 2014, the Department of Justice filed a motion seeking permission to intervene in this case and pursue its action under the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act. The Court granted the unopposed motion to intervene on December 23, 2014. Settlement negotiations were immediately initiated.

On July 1, 2015, the plaintiffs filed a motion to approve a consent settlement. The DOJ issued a statement on their website the same day. The consent settlement included provisions completely prohibiting certain types of force. The DOC also agreed to report all incidents where the staff used force on a prisoner. All Use of Force incidents resulting in major injuries to the prisoner resulted in a mandatory video-recorded interview of the injured prisoner and other witnesses, and referred for an investigation to the Investigation Division of the DOC. The DOC agreed to install 7,800 wall-mounted cameras and at least 100 body-worn or hand-held cameras to facilitate the investigations. Staff that violate the use of force guidelines will be disciplined, up to termination. Staff could not be promoted if they had a poor disciplinary use of force record or a pending disciplinary investigation.

The DOC agreed to no longer put prisoners under 18 in any punitive isolation. Prisons housing youth were required to have certain staffing levels and routine examination of the premises to ensure security and safety of the prisoners. The DOC also agreed to begin searching for an alternative location, off Rikers Island, for prisoners under 18.

Finally, the parties agreed to a monitor, who visited the prisons and wrote a progress report every four months, penologist Steve Martin.

On October 21, 2015, the Court (Judge Laura Taylor Swain) approved the consent judgment and implementation began, enforced by the court.

On December 4, 2019, Judge Swain issued an order and modified the consent judgment, adding "[a]ny Board employee who witnesses a Use of Force Incident must report the incident in writing directly to the area Tour Commander or to a supervisor who is responsible for investigating the incident. This shall include, but not be limited to, filling out the narrative section of any witness report."

The monitor's ninth report raised concerns about the defendants' efforts to advance reforms and the treatment of 16 and 17 year olds. The report raised non-compliance issues with "(1) implementing the Use of Force Directive; (2) addressing the backlog of investigations and improving use of force investigations going forward; (3) improving Staff discipline and accountability; and (4) addressing the high level of disorder at RNDC, where most of the 18-year-old inmates are housed."

In response to the issues raised in the ninth monitor report, the court ordered the Monitoring Team to file a status report by July 2, 2020. This report from the monitor outlined the progress that the parties had made and indicated that the parties "are in a position to reach a joint agreement." In this report, the monitor noted that the parties have not decided how to treat 16 and 17 year olds in compliance with the terms of the consent judgment and new legislation in New York that created a new legal status for 16 and 17 year olds arrested for felonies. After the monitor filed this status report, the court urged the parties to continue to work towards a finalized joint proposal.

On August 14, 2020, the court issued a remedial consent order addressing the defendants' non-compliance on use of force. The order instructed Facility Wardens to promptly review all incidents involving use of force to determine if any corrective action was warranted. Among other changes to the consent decree, this remedial order instructed the defendants to take immediate corrective actions to determine whether any staff members "should be subject to immediate corrective action pending the completion of the use of force investigation."

The Tenth Monitoring Report and Eleventh Monitoring Reports expressed similar concerns as prior reports by noting that "[t]he City and Department have established a record of non-compliance in the most fundamental goals of the Consent Judgment, most especially regarding the use of force and accountability for violations of these requirements."

Meanwhile, the monitor began filing status reports about the remedial order from August 14, 2020. The First Remedial Report, issued on December 8, 2020, noted that investigations into use of force had begun, but little corrective action had been taken. The Second Report, issued on June 3, 2021, focused on "problem-solving efforts designed to advance the overall reform."

On August 24, 2021, the Monitoring Team filed a letter to Judge Swain advising the court of the Team's "grave concerns about the conditions and pervasive high level of disorder and chaos in the New York City jails." The letter stated that the conditions in the jails have deteriorated from the dismal state reported in previous monitoring reports, resulting in a steady increase in serious use of force incidents, a rise in the level of security lapses and unchecked breaches, and instances of inadequate supervision. Judge Swain endorsed the report the following day, finding it “deeply disturbing.”

Judge Swain issued a Second Remedial Order on September 29, 2021, which adopted the recommendations of the Monitoring Team, which included obligations to: address unsecured doors; communicate their obligations under the Suicide Prevention Policy; assign incarcerated people to housing within 24 hours of their intake; maintain video monitoring; hire a consultant to advise on safely housing people in consideration of gang affiliation; expand criteria for who may serve on facility leadership teams; and appoint an external Security Operations Manager. 

In response to a Monitoring Report submitted on September 30, 2021, which documented over 1,900 pending disciplinary cases related to use of force violations including 600 cases involving conduct that occurred over three years prior, Judge Swain issued a Third Remedial Order on November 22, 2021. The court ordered the Trials Division to select at least 400 cases to be prioritized for expeditious resolution and increased the number of pre-trial conferences the defendants must hold each month. The defendants were also ordered to improve procedures to allow for more timely review and increase staffing for the Trials Division.

Citing 18 deaths on Rikers Island in the prior year, in addition to several other grave concerns, the plaintiffs requested appointment of a federal receiver on November 14, 2022. Judge Swain denied this request on November 21, 2022 and referenced her comments from an earlier hearing in which she stated that the defendants needed more time to comply with recent court orders.

On December 5, 2022, Judge Swain adopted the Monitoring Team’s recommendation to abolish the position of Warden and ordered the defendants to establish a new Facility Supervisor role and expand the criteria for application to allow applicants from outside the department.   

On December 13, 2022, the court ordered the defendants to file a status update outlining the steps being taken to comply with the court’s Second Remedial Order. On January 10, 2023, the defendants filed their status report, which detailed improvements in the intake process for new admissions and changes in the Inmate Tracking System for transfers. As a result, defendants argued there was no basis for plaintiffs’ contemplated contempt motion. Nonetheless, plaintiffs filed their motion on January 25, 2023, arguing that the defendants had failed to properly track intake and transfers.

Later that year, on February 3, the parties informed the court they had reached a revised agreement about 16- and 17-year-olds at Horizon Juvenile Center, which would extend through June 30, 2023. Under the new agreement, the monitor would file two public reports, and if the monitor found that the defendants made good faith efforts to comply with the consent decree, the parties would agree to exclude adolescent offenders from the consent decree. 

A month later, on March 13, the court denied without prejudice plaintiffs’ motion to hold defendants in civil contempt because the defendants had recently made changes to try to address the issues raised by the plaintiffs. Therefore, the court instead ordered the defendants to file status reports on their continued effort to comply. 

Two months later, on May 26, the monitor filed a report detailing five recent “disturbing incidents involving harm to incarcerated persons” that revealed dangerous conditions, unsafe practices, and a lack of transparency from the defendants. A few days later, the court ordered the defendants to provide more information in response to the report. A few weeks later, the court ordered the defendants to produce a plan of action addressing these incidents, including appointing a manager to interface with the monitor, and ordered the monitor to file a status report about the sufficiency of the plan.

On July 10, 2023, the monitor filed a report explaining that the defendants were not properly communicating with the Monitoring Team and that there had been “regression” in carrying out the overall remedial plan. The following week, the court ordered defendants to explain what steps they planned to take to address security and harm, supervision and training, and consultation and collaboration.

On August 10, 2023, the court ordered the defendants to implement several steps by the end of the year in response to ongoing problems identified by the monitor. These steps included establishing data about use of force, changing search and escort procedures and security protocols, and creating new policies involving training and supervision.

Two months later, after a monitor’s report that described worsening conditions surrounding security, staffing, and incident reporting, the court ordered the defendants to meet with the monitor to create an immediate plan to “ameliorate the unacceptable levels of harm in the New York City jails.”

Later that year, on November 15, the monitor wrote a letter to the court alleging that the defendants had opened and operated a new specialized housing unit without consulting the monitor, in violation of the court’s orders. The next day, the court ordered the defendants to explain why it should not hold them in contempt for this violation as well as their overall lack of transparency. The following day, the plaintiffs filed a motion for a contempt order and asked the court to appoint a receiver to oversee the Department of Correction and ensure compliance with the consent decree. The plaintiffs detailed how, after eight years, the defendants had failed to remedy the violations, making a receiver necessary to comply with the prospective relief. Various organizations filed amicus briefs in support of a receivership, including the New York Attorney General’s Office.

The following month, on December 8, the mayor of New York City appointed a new commissioner of the Department of Correction.

About a week later, on December 14, the court found the defendants in contempt, and explained that the defendants could purge the contempt order if they took various steps to implement the court’s orders and communicate with the monitor. The following day, the court also ordered the defendants to create a new policy for incident reporting.

As of December 23, 2023, the case was ongoing, with the issue of contempt still pending.

ORDER:1. Plaintiffs having submitted a letter application dated October 3, 2012, seeking an order overruling defendants' objections to producing documents that pre-date November 1, 2009 in response to Plaintiffs' First Set of Discovery Requests Relating to Class Certification, it is hereby ORDERED as follows: Plaintiffs' application is granted. The release in Ingles v. Toro, 01 Civ. 8279 (DC), precludes claims for injunctive relief arising after November 1, 2009; it does not prevent discovery of information prior to that date in relation to claims accruing thereafter. This distinction is consistent with the language of the release, and its logic can be illustrated with an example. If there was widespread abuse of inmates by correction officers on November 2, 2009, the inmates would not be barred by the Ingles release from initiating a new action, and it is inconceivable that the scope of discovery would be limited to a period of one day. 2. Plaintiffs have not articulated the rationale for choosing April 4, 2006 as the look-back date for discovery, nor have they explained how the discovery now sought relates to the information that they had access to under the monitoring provisions of the Ingles settlement. Accordingly, while discovery is not limited to the period after November 1, 2009, any further disputes regarding scope may be presented to me after counsel have met and conferred.
