Case Summary

On December 7, 2017, eighteen death row prisoners in the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) alleged they had been kept in solitary confinement at the Broad River Correctional Institution (BRCI) for between nine and twenty years. Plaintiffs sued SCDC, its Director, and its Warden under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of their Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments rights. The prisoners alleged that they were placed in solitary confinement regardless of behavioral history or individu…

On December 7, 2017, eighteen death row prisoners in the South Carolina Department of Corrections (SCDC) alleged they had been kept in solitary confinement at the Broad River Correctional Institution (BRCI) for between nine and twenty years. Plaintiffs sued SCDC, its Director, and its Warden under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging violations of their Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments rights. The prisoners alleged that they were placed in solitary confinement regardless of behavioral history or individual status. The case was referred to Magistrate Judge Thomas E Rogers, III.

On December 22, 2017, the plaintiffs moved for a preliminary injunction asserting that they were transferred from Lieber Correctional Institution to the Maximum Security Unit at Kirkland Reception and Evaluation Center, which provided even harsher conditions than those previously experienced in their solitary confinement at Lieber. On June 26, 2018, Magistrate Judge Rogers issued a Report and Recommendation that the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction be denied. 2018 WL 3802100. Judge Rogers found that the plaintiffs failed to make a showing that they were likely to succeed on the merits of their due process claim. The court adopted this recommendation and subsequently denied the motion on August 9, 2018. 2018 WL 3773933. One of the plaintiffs then filed a motion for protective order on August 21, 2018 which was granted on August 23, 2018. On April 16, 2018, the plaintiffs amended their complaint.

The plaintiffs filed a second motion for preliminary injunction on May 21, 2019, along with a motion for temporary restraining order. On June 5, 2019 however, plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew both motions. They explain in the supporting documentation that defendants had worked with plaintiffs counsel to voluntarily make some changes to the facility that made the preliminary relief no longer necessary. They maintained that the ultimate question regarding conditions at BRCI remain valid and that they intended to continue pursuing the lawsuit.

The parties filed a joint status report at the court's request on July 27, 2020. The report disclosed that since February 2020 they had been in mediation regarding prison conditions, relocation of the Death Row, a new formal SCDC Death Row Policy and other issues related to the case, and that it had been successful so far. Their next mediation session was scheduled for September 5, 2020. On March 24, 2021 Judge Hendricks, having been advised by the parties that they had reached a settlement, issued an order dismissing the case without costs and without prejudice to either party. The action could be reinstated if the parties did not reach a settlement and either party was able to show good cause for reinstatement within 60 days. This case is now closed
