Colorado Division of Youth Services · Youth detention and community-based placement services · Ongoing Litigation
About this case
The class action alleges that Colorado unlawfully detains children, including children with disabilities and children in foster care, in Division of Youth Services facilities after judges have ordered or indicated that they should be released to community-based placements. It also challenges jail-like conditions, including confinement, restraints, strip searches, and inadequate services, as violations of constitutional, statutory, and disability rights; the lawsuit was filed in March and its later procedural stage is not specified.
