Case Summary

On March 31, 2011, female prisoners at an Illinois women’s prison were strip searched as part of a training exercise for new guards. Several of the prisoners filed this putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The plaintiffs sued the Illinois Department of Corrections, Lincoln Correctional Center, and Logan Correctional Center under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

On March 31, 2011, female prisoners at an Illinois women’s prison were strip searched as part of a training exercise for new guards. Several of the prisoners filed this putative class action in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois. The plaintiffs sued the Illinois Department of Corrections, Lincoln Correctional Center, and Logan Correctional Center under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Represented by civil rights attorneys Loevy and Loevy, they sought damages, costs and attorney’s fees, punitive damages, and injunctive relief against three types of defendants: Members of the correctional facility tactical unit, who escorted the plaintiffs to the area where the searches were conducted, correctional officers who conducted the searches, and members of the Illinois Department of Corrections administration. The complaint alleged that the strip searches were conducted in a way that violated the Fourth and Eighth Amendments. Specifically, they claimed that the strip searches were unnecessary, demeaning, dehumanizing, and humiliating.

The plaintiffs had to stand naked in a line with 8-10 other inmates in a room with other inmates and guards who were not conducting the searches. The prisoners who were menstruating had to remove their menstrual products, they were not given new ones, and many got blood on themselves, their clothes, and the floor. The prisoners had to stand barefoot and naked on a floor covered in menstrual blood, raise their breasts, lift their hair, turn around, bend over, spread their buttocks and vaginas, and cough.

The case was assigned to Judge Richard Mills. On October 21, 2014 Judge Mills granted the plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. 2014 WL 5349870 (C.D. Ill. 2014). Judge Mills certified the two classes. Class I included all individuals subjected to the March 31, 2011 strip search at Lincoln Correctional Center. Class II included all women who are incarcerated at Logan Correctional Center and all women who will be incarcerated at Logan Correctional Center in the future. Lincoln Correctional Center was converted to an all-male prison and the majority of inmates were sent to Logan Correctional Center.

On April 14, 2016 the district court granted summary judgment for the defendants on the Fourth Amendment claim, holding that a visual inspection of a prisoner did not constitute an unreasonable search. 2016 WL 11265636 (C.D. Ill. 2016). The district court denied summary judgment on the Eighth Amendment claim and that claim went to trial.

A jury trial was held before Judge Mills on November 14-18, 2016. On November 21, 2016, the jury returned a verdict for the defendants, finding that the searches had not been intended to humiliate or conducted to gain sexual gratification. Judge Mills entered the verdict for the defendants on November 22, 2016. The plaintiffs appealed; they did not contest the jury verdict against them on the Eighth Amendment claim but appealed to the Seventh Circuit to reinstate the Fourth Amendment claim. (Docket No. 16-04234).

On November 30, 2017, the case was argued in front of a panel of three judges: Circuit Judge Frank H. Easterbrook, Circuit Judge Daniel A. Manion, and District Judge John Z. Lee (sitting by designation). On July 16, 2019, the Seventh Circuit issued an opinion affirming the decision of the District Court that granted summary judgment to the defendants. Judge Lee dissented, arguing that whether or not the Fourth Amendment applied depended on whether the prisoners had a reasonable expectation of privacy, not on whether guards or the prisoners themselves conducted the searches. 930 F.3d 836 (7th Cir. 2019).

Rehearing en banc was granted December 18, 2019. 788 Fed. Appx. 387 (Mem). On May 14, 2020 the case was argued en banc via Zoom.

On August 11, 2020 the en banc Seventh Circuit reversed the previous panel’s ruling. In an opinion by Circuit Judge Amy J. St. Eve, the court held that “the Fourth Amendment protects a right to bodily privacy for convicted prisoners, albeit in a significantly limited way, including during visual inspections.” 969 F.3d 769, 774. The Seventh Circuit then remanded the case back to District Court for further proceedings on the plaintiff’s Fourth Amendment claims. Judge Easterbrook, who wrote the reversed panel opinion in this case, filed a dissent, arguing that convicted prisoners have no rights under the Fourth Amendment. Id. at 788.

After remand, preparations for trial continued. On August 19, 2021, Judge Mills denied a motion for dismissal by members of the tactical unit and prison administrators on qualified immunity grounds and transferred the case to Judge Sue E. Myerscough. Judge Myerscough ordered parallel mediation for a possible settlement to begin on September 9, 2021.

Preparations for trial continued, and on May 23, 2022 a number of defendants reinstated after the 7th Circuit decision requested leave to file for summary judgment on qualified immunity grounds. These defendants were all correctional officers or members of the correctional facility tactical unit. Jury selection began on May 31, 2022. The same day, plaintiffs requested the dismissal of five defendant tactical unit members and correctional officers. Defendants did not contest this motion and Judge Myerscough dismissed them from the case. The IDOC administrators, one tactical unit member, and one correctional officer remained in the case.   

On June 7, 2022, the jury found the prison administrators and a tactical unit member liable for violating the individual plaintiffs’ 4th Amendment rights. Specifically, the liable defendants were found to have directly participated in the search, that they failed to intervene in an unconstitutional search, and that they bore supervisory liability for the search. This liability also extended to the certified class of plaintiffs. The jury did not find any liability for the correctional officer. In addition to determining liability for both the individual plaintiffs and the class of plaintiffs as a whole, the jury awarded $20,000 in compensatory damages and a further $5,500 in punitive damages to each named plaintiff. The punitive damages were imposed only on the IDOC administrators. 

Upon receipt of the jury verdict, the defendants requested that Judge Myerscough either enter a directed verdict in their favor by way of qualified immunity or a holding that the issues at hand had been litigated in the initial phase of trial. Alternatively, the defendants requested that she hold a new trial for the same reasons. Judge Myerscough denied this motion on October 25, 2022, in an opinion noting that every issue presented in the directed verdict motion had previously been forfeited or had been agreed to by plaintiffs. Judge Myerscough concluded that allowing a directed verdict or a new trial would be unfair to the plaintiffs, as the plaintiffs had built their trial strategy on the basis of these forfeitures and agreements.  Defendants filed a request with Judge Myerscough for interlocutory appeal of these issues as well as a stay of proceedings. Judge Myerscough denied the defendants’ request for an interlocutory appeal and stay of proceedings on January 4, 2023. She noted that a stay pending appeal would increase cost to plaintiffs and would unreasonably extend timeline, effectively shrinking the class by those eligible dying or not realizing their eligibility for compensation due to temporal distance from the events. 

On January 9, 2023, the parties met for a settlement conference. Two months later, on March 20, the case was reassigned to Judge Colleen R. Lawless, who had been recently appointed to the federal bench.

Later that year, on August 11, the plaintiffs moved for preliminary approval of a class action settlement agreement. Under the agreement, individual class members who were subject to the 2011 strip search would receive about $7,535, with class representatives and people who testified or appeared in order to testify receiving additional incentives, up to a total of $119,000 for all incentive awards combined. Furthermore, class counsel could move for attorneys' fees, as long as the overall payment by defendants was no greater than $3 million. Any money that the defendants paid to the class that did not go to class members would go to the Illinois Prison Project of Restore Justice and Chicago Legal Advocacy for Incarcerated Mothers as cy pres funds. The court would retain jurisdiction to enforce the agreement.

The court granted the motion for preliminary approval three days later, but final approval for the settlement requires a future fairness hearing.

As of October 2, 2023, the case was ongoing.

In addition, the Plaintiffs have filed a Response to the Motion to Dismiss (d/e 18 ), in which they (1) note the filing of the First Amended Complaint, and (2) request that the Court deny the Motion to Dismiss Count III as moot. In light of these developments, the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Count III (d/e 15 ) is DENIED AS MOOT. Entered by Judge Richard Mills on 06/22/2012. (VM, ilcd)
