The agency settled for $500,000 and agreed to policy changes regarding contraband investigations, the law firm representing the inmate, Zackariah Jones, announced Tuesday.
On Dec. 1, 2018, at the Sterling Correctional Facility, corrections officers in retaliation for “many grievances” Jones had filed against officers, strip-searched Jones repeatedly searching for contraband because an officer said he saw Jones swallow something, according to the law firm of Killmer Lane, LLP.
Jones was then placed in universal restraints, including wrist restraints secured to a belly chain and leg restraints, and left in a “dry cell,” where inmates have no independent access to any water, sink or toilet for 12 days. He was also not allowed to shower or wash his hands, and was not allowed to use toilet paper when using the restroom.
In addition to the $500,000, CDOC agreed to new policies, so prisoners will now be offered laxatives used to speed the digestive process, and after 3 bowel movements with no contraband discovered, the dry celling must end. Investigations longer than 72 hours must also involve a medical professional.Colorado has the four most expensive housing markets in U.S.
