Seven years ago, the state settled a lawsuit filed by women at the Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women. They complained of inadequate medical care and reported being denied access to bathrooms. Cells at that prison do not contain toilets, so the state agreed to leave doors unlocked most of the time so prisoners could use the facilities.
Now, an inmate at the Women’s Correctional Center in Goochland is suing for the same right. Sandy Hausman reports.
