Case Summary

This case concerns discrimination against disabled prisoners by correctional facilities. On August 30, 2019, the plaintiffs, six individuals all currently or formerly in the custody of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (the “Department”), filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (No. 19-004580) against the Department and various current and former Department officials.

This case concerns discrimination against disabled prisoners by correctional facilities. On August 30, 2019, the plaintiffs, six individuals all currently or formerly in the custody of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (the “Department”), filed a complaint in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland (No. 19-004580) against the Department and various current and former Department officials. The plaintiffs sued all defendants under the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and state law. The plaintiffs also sued the individual (i.e. non-Department) defendants for violations of the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. The plaintiffs, represented by private counsel, sought injunctive, compensatory, and punitive relief.

Specifically, the plaintiffs claimed that the Department’s discriminatory practices denied them equal access to the Department’s services, programs, and activities available to non-disabled prisoners. For example, the Department had not made all parts of their facilities wheelchair-accessible, forcing wheelchair-bound prisoners to expose themselves to dangerous conditions likely to cause physical harm, such as noncompliant bathrooms, showers, ramps, and cells. The Department had also denied the plaintiffs and other disabled prisoners equal access to the Department's vocational training and work release programs on the sole basis of their disabilities, resulting in lost opportunities to work and earn money while in prison. The plaintiffs also claimed to receive threats from prison staff when the plaintiffs spoke up against the Department's noncompliance.

On October 23, 2019, the defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. On December 30, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted under the ADA, the Rehabilitation Act, Section 1983, or Maryland state law. On January 14, 2020, Judge Ellen L. Hollander transferred the case to Chief Judge James K. Bredar because one of the plaintiffs was also involved in a case with overlapping factual and legal issues assigned to Judge Bredar (Jardina v. Dep’t of Pub. Safety & Corr. Servs., No. JKB-16-1255). In fact, the plaintiff in Jardina moved to consolidate his case with this one on November 26, 2019, and Judge Bredar granted that motion to consolidate on January 15, 2020. On February 5, the case was referred to Magistrate Judge J. Mark Coulson for purposes of settlement, discovery, or further proceedings. The case is ongoing.
