Written By Stefanie Papasoglu

HBC is pleased to report that two of its attorneys, Dan Williams and Lauren Groth, successfully partnered with the ACLU of Colorado and a team of civil rights lawyers to resolve a class-action lawsuit brought in the US District Court for the District of Colorado regarding the need to protect medically vulnerable inmates in the Weld County Jail from COVID-19.  The resolution includes important safeguards for inmates, and also contains measures to reduce the number of persons detained in the jail during the COVID-19 crisis.
