On June 19, 2017, a former inmate of Davidson County Jail (DCJ), filed this class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The plaintiff sued CoreCivic of Tennessee under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, sought monetary relief, including punitive damages, injunctive relief, declaratory relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs. The plaintiff alleged that, in deliberately failing to adequately screen those entering the DCJ, respond to inmate requests for medical attention, treat those infested with the parasite, quarantine the infected individuals in its care, or take any other precautions to prevent the spread of scabies outside the facility, the defendant violated the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the plaintiff and class members. The case was assigned to Judge Aleta A. Trauger.
The plaintiff requested that the court permanently enjoin the Defendant from continuing to violate the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution and to immediately cease intimidating, threatening, and retaliating against inmates for demanding medical care for their serious medical needs. The plaintiff also sought a permanent injunction requiring the Defendant to provide a full medical staff adequate to meet the needs of those infected with scabies and capable of dispensing medication and monitoring their treatment until completion.
On September 24, 2017, the plaintiff filed a motion to consolidate the present case with the case of Wendy Snead v. CoreCivic of Tennessee. The following day, Judge Trauger granted the motion to consolidate. To read the subsequent proceedings in the consolidated cases, see Snead.
