A settlement of $ 2.15 million was reached in a class action suit involving strip searches that were conducted on thousands of inmates at the Will County Jail. Some of these people had been arrested for minor misdemeanor or traffic violations.
Last December, U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman ruled that jailers violated the rights of many inmates in Will County Jail by strip searching them. He ruled the searches could be allowed only when jail officials had reasonable suspicion to believe an inmate was carrying contraband, such as drugs or weapons.
Several thousand former inmates will share the $2.15 million settlement.
