Case Summary

On April 29, 2016, a prisoner at the Waupun Correctional Institution (WCI) in Wisconsin, filed this pro se lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against the warden and other prison officials at WCI under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On April 29, 2016, a prisoner at the Waupun Correctional Institution (WCI) in Wisconsin, filed this pro se lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against the warden and other prison officials at WCI under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The original complaint named several other plaintiffs similarly situated in solitary confinement conditions, alleging that their First, Fifth, and Eighth Amendment rights were being violated. The plaintiff described in his complaint that the administrative confinement unit conditions were harsh and unsanitary. Specifically, he described that cells were infested with insects, that the light in his cell was always on, that he was only allowed out of his cell four hours a week to access the recreation room, and that the recreation room was covered in urine and feces. Additionally, the plaintiff alleged that prisoners in administrative confinement were subject to manipulation and assaults by the guards. The main plaintiff, who had been in administrative segregation for over 25 years, alleged that the isolating conditions at WCI caused him to develop serious mental illnesses.

The plaintiff moved for class certification, preliminary injunction, and to be assigned counsel. All of these motions were denied by Judge Rudolph Randa on June 30, 2016. The judge denied class certification because under federal law pro se litigants are not allowed to represent other pro se litigants.

In June, according to a prison news website, the plaintiff went on a hunger strike to protest his administrative confinement. To convince the plaintiff to begin eating again, the warden agreed to recommend the plaintiff be moved to the Wisconsin Resource Center. On July 25, 2016, the plaintiff submitted an amended complaint that did not include the other plaintiffs.

In the amended complaint, the plaintiff requested preliminary injunction, injunctive relief, declaratory judgment, and damages. Specifically, the plaintiff requested injunctive relief limiting the use of administrative confinement, allowing a pathway for prisoners in administrative confinement to move to the general population, and that the prison implement various accountability measures. The plaintiff also requested declaratory judgment acknowledging that his rights had been violated and that the administrative confinement was harmful and punitive in nature. And finally, the plaintiff requested both punitive and compensatory damages totaling $400,000 from each defendant.

Due to the unavailability of Judge Randa, the case was reassigned to the Chief Judge William Griesbach. On November 2, 2016, the plaintiff was moved to the Wisconsin Resource Center where he had access to treatment and the possibility of moving to the general population. As a result, the Chief Judge dismissed his motion for preliminary injunction as moot. 2016 WL 6989795. The plaintiff’s motions to appoint counsel were consistently denied because, despite his mental illness, he had demonstrated he was able to file complaints.

On June 8, 2017, the plaintiff moved to voluntarily dismiss the case because he was unable to effectively argue the case without counsel or an expert witness. On June 9, 2017, Judge Griesbach, granted the plaintiffs motion and dismissed the case without prejudice.
