 The lawsuit was filed in August 2023 by inmates at the Maximum Security, Mount Olive Correctional Complex in Fayette County, and the Southwestern Regional Jail in Logan County, and on behalf of a juvenile at a detention facility in Boone County. Berger found the plaintiffs had no standing to pursue the lawsuit, ruling there was no direct connection between the conduct of justice in Shorsha and the allegations in the lawsuit, that overcrowding was ignored.
