CJAC Wins Speedy Release of Medically Vulnerable Individuals from Federal Prison in Danbury In the Press On December 11, 2020, in the Whitted v. Easter class action, a federal court ordered the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to release 17 medically vulnerable individuals currently incarcerated at FCI Danbury, the sole federal prison in Connecticut. Despite a settlement agreement that requires the BOP to release those approved for home confinement within 14 days absent a public safety rationale for holding them longer, these 17 individuals — some of whom were granted release months ago — remained incarcerated based on administrative roadblocks. That will change with the Court’s order. The plaintiffs are represented by the Criminal Justice Advocacy Clinic (CJAC) at Yale Law School.
