Brendan Kirby Reports On the final approval to the settlement of Mobile County jail harassment suit
On Tuesday, September 5, 2023, a federal judge gave final approval to a settlement that put an end to a complaint that claimed the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office had ignored inmate sexual harassment of female corrections agents.
Twelve current and former employees who made the first complaint, together with other “similarly situated women,” will receive $2.02 million from the Sheriff’s Office.
The settlement received provisional approval from U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose in May. However, she was confronted with complaints from both present and former workers who were left out of the settlement because they left the Sheriff’s Office before 2011 or because they were supervisors.
The settlement was accepted in its entirety by the judge on Tuesday.
The one oral objection and the seven written ones, according to DuBose, “do not provide sufficient grounds to amend the Court’s preliminary approval of the Settlement Agreement and are overruled.”
The judge stated in his ruling that the conditions of the settlement, which include the plaintiff’s attorneys’ legal costs, are “fair, adequate, and reasonable resolutions of the issues and is not the result of collusion among the parties.”
The lawsuit claimed that staff members at the Mobile County Metro Jail did not do enough to prevent inmates from exposing themselves to female jail officers, making obscene gestures, and yelling lewd comments.
The Sheriff’s Office also promised to take a variety of actions to stop similar behavior in the future in addition to the monetary settlement. The majority of those pledges, according to Mobile County Sheriff Paul Burch, are things the jail has already been carrying out.
The judge will conduct a second “fairness hearing” after the women who are eligible for the settlement submit their claims to ascertain whether the payouts are appropriate.
