Initial deal struck to end South Carolina prison riot suits
By MEG KINNARDJune 28, 2021 GMT
South Carolina prison officials said Monday they have reached the initial approval phase of a $6 million settlement to resolve dozens of lawsuits the Department of Corrections is facing following a deadly prison riot that killed seven inmates.
“We will appear in front of the State Fiscal Accountability Authority tomorrow asking for permission to move forward with a settlement in the Lee riot cases,” Department of Corrections spokesperson Chrysti Shain told The Associated Press.
The settlement was listed as the final item on the authority’s Tuesday agenda, which noted the prisons agency faces a total of 81 lawsuits filed by inmates, or on inmates’ behalf, in state and federal courts.
