Lawsuit accuses the federal prison system of conducting at least half a million illegal strip searches between 2014 and 2020
Federal prisoners who allege that degrading strip searches are being illegally conducted on them have won the right to go ahead with a class-action lawsuit against the government.
The lawsuit details the practices it says happen routinely to men and women in these searches – everything from flashlight inspections of orifices to orders to manipulate one’s genitals and lift one’s breasts, in front of officers of the same sex as the prisoner.The federal government presented an assistant warden in court who denied the searches are inherently degrading, despite a 2001 Supreme Court ruling that found police strip searches to be so, no matter how they are carried out.
His ruling to certify the lawsuit is a procedural step that lets the lawsuit go ahead to determine whether the prisoners’ rights were violated, and if so, what damages the government must pay. “You can imagine having to stand in front of someone and strip down to nothing … so they can inspect you, every corner of your body.”
