ACLU May Join In Suit Against County Over Jail

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – A new group wants to be added to the lawsuit against Vigo County and county officials alleging overcrowding and poor inmate conditions at the Vigo County Jail.

The legal team for Vigo County Jail inmates wants to bring in the American Civil Liberties Union.

A motion has been filed to add Kenneth Falk to the plaintiff’s legal team.

Falk is an attorney for the ACLU and represented a group of inmates in a previous suit.

Falk is also currently involved with another lawsuit involving the jail.

Now an executive session of the Vigo County Council will be held next Tuesday.

Other county leaders will likely attend.
