Who are the parties to the Settlement?
Intervenor-Plaintiffs are non-felon pre-trial detainees who were strip searched at admission to a New York City Department of Corrections (“DOC”) jail. They are called Class Representatives because they brought this lawsuit on their own behalf and on behalf of other non-felon detainees. The Defendants are the City of New York and former representatives of the DOC. The parties have agreed to resolve this case by settlement.
