Case Summary

On May 30, 2013, prisoners in the East Mississippi Correctional Facility (EMCF) filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The plaintiffs sued the Mississippi Department of Corrections commissioner, deputy commissioner, and chief medical officer in their official capacities under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

On May 30, 2013, prisoners in the East Mississippi Correctional Facility (EMCF) filed this class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The plaintiffs sued the Mississippi Department of Corrections commissioner, deputy commissioner, and chief medical officer in their official capacities under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs, represented by attorneys from the ACLU National Prison Project and the Southern Poverty Law Center, asked the court for declaratory and injunctive relief, as well as monetary relief, claiming that conditions in the EMCF violated their Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment.

Specifically, the plaintiffs claimed that the living conditions at EMCF, designed to house and treat Mississippi's most seriously mentally ill prisoners, were so inhumane as to cause harm to the inmates through known problems with healthcare, mental healthcare, isolation, excessive force, protection from harm, nutrition, and food safety.

In September 2014, the plaintiffs moved to certify all of the prisoners who were subjected to the allegedly unconstitutional conditions as a class. While this motion was pending, on October 9, 2014, District Judge Tom S. Lee recused himself and the case was reassigned to District Judge William H. Barbour, Jr. On September 29, 2015, the court granted class certification as sought by the plaintiffs. The defendants attempted to appeal the class certification order, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit denied the defendants' motion to file an appeal on November 2, 2015.

After engaging in discovery, a bench trial began on March 5, 2018 and concluded on April 9, 2018. On August 24, 2018, the court stayed the proceedings in the case pending the receipt of supplemental expert reports, which were to be filed by November 16, 2018. The court found that during the bench trial, it had become apparent that conditions at the prison had changed, in part, due to the appointing and hiring of new administrators and implementation of new policies and procedures. Therefore, he found the stay necessary in order ensure that any award of injunctive relief in this case would not run afoul of the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA).

After the parties submitted their supplemental expert reports, the parties attempted to settle. On January 24, 2019, however, the parties notified Magistrate Judge John C. Gargiulo, who oversaw the settlement conferences, that the parties were unable to settle and that future settlement conferences would not be productive.

The case proceeded, and on December 31, 2019, the Court entered judgment for the Defendants, stating inter alia that many changes had been made at the prison pertaining to the lawsuit's claims including, but not limited to new personnel in every facet of the prison's operations. The court concluded any constitutional violation which existed at the time of filing no longer exist and therefore the remedies sought are no longer necessary, thus judgment was entered in favor of the Defendants on all claims. 

Plaintiffs appealed the judgment to the Fifth Circuit on January 30, 2020. Numerous motions were filed to supplement the record on appeal.

Meanwhile, the district court imposed costs of $104,380 against the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs moved for a review of the taxation, arguing that the indigent plaintiffs brought a close case, and therefore should not be assessed the plaintiffs costs. The plaintiffs also objected to the defendants’ billing of expenditures that included hotel stays, travel, and dining. Defendants opposed the motion, arguing that Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(d)(1) provides that costs “should be allowed to the prevailing party,” and therefore entitles them to compensation for costs. The plaintiffs filed a motion to review the assessment of costs.

On August 27, 2021, the Fifth Circuit affirmed the District Court's judgment in favor of the Defendants. The Fifth Circuit took the unusual step of reviewing the District Court's findings de novo. The Fifth Circuit found that the District Court did not impermissibly overlook the possibility of mutually enforcing effects of challenged conditions of confinement, and that the District Court was not required to consider whether past violations were likely to recur. 7 F.4th 375.

This case is now closed.
