Case Summary

On September 21, 2022, two men, one currently and one formerly incarcerated in Southern Regional Jail (SRJ), filed this putative class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. They sought to represent a class of individuals imprisoned in SRJ facilities, which house both pre-trial individuals and those who have received their sentences. They sued the former commissioner of the West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitations (WVDOC), the former warden for SRJ, and the former chief correctional officer at SRJ in their official capacities. Plaintiffs also filed claims against seven county commissions in West Virginia, Primecare Medical of West Virginia, unidentified correctional officers, and unidentified employees of the commissions and healthcare providers.

The lawsuit alleged overcrowding, unsanitary living conditions, and neglectful medical care in violation of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments and state law. In support of their claims, plaintiffs cited inadequate plumbing, nutrition, bedding, hygiene items, exercise time, lighting and prisoner safety. By depriving them of basic human necessities, permitting the squalid conditions alleged above and taking no action to remedy them, plaintiffs argued defendants violated their constitutional rights. Plaintiffs also argued that their constitutional rights were violated because defendants permitted these conditions despite those conditions not being in any way justified by a governmental interest. The case was assigned to Judge Frank W. Volk.

Represented by private counsel, the plaintiffs sought injunctive and declaratory relief, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorney’s fees. The requested injunctive relief included enjoining defendants from engaging in the aforementioned unconstitutional practices and ordering them to implement and enforce constitutional policies. Plaintiffs also sought certification of two classes: Class A would include all currently incarcerated individuals who at any point between January 1, 2018, and the present were incarcerated at SRJ; and Class B would include all formerly incarcerated individuals who at any point between September 21, 2020, and the present were incarcerated at SRJ.

An amended complaint was filed on October 7, 2022. The amended complaint included additional defendants, naming the acting commissioner of the WVDOC, the Cabinet Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Homeland Security, Wexford Health Sources, and unidentified employees of Wexford. PrimeCare Medical and Wexford provided healthcare services to individuals at SRJ.

On November 18, 2022, the plaintiffs sought leave to file their second amended complaint to add a cause of action for alleged violations of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and to add a new subclass representative to bring the ADA claims. While the plaintiffs’ motion to amend was pending before the court, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint, between December 9, 2022, and December 27, 2022. Before the court could rule on any motions, the plaintiffs filed an emergency motion for a preliminary injunction on March 22, 2023.

On April 5, 2023, the court directed the plaintiffs to file their second amended complaint, and denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint on procedural grounds, holding that their arguments were more appropriate when challenging the merits of the complaint. The plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint on April 17, 2023, but the defendants moved to strike it the next day, as it differed from the proposed second amended complaint.The filed version of the complaint added three new defendants who weren’t included in the proposal, as well as additional prayers for relief.

The district court granted the defendants’ motion to strike on July 14, 2023, striking the filed second amended complaint from the record, and directing the plaintiffs to file another amended complaint in its place, which they did on July 17, 2023.

Litigation is currently ongoing, and the parties are engaging in discovery.
