The concerns of the inmates, represented by Friedman & Gilbert, very much mirror those found by the U.S. Marshals in its review of the jail, which were memorialized in a scathing report delivered last month.
Defendants in the suit include Armond Budish, the warden Eric Ivey, Sheriff Cliff Pinkney, MetroHealth, which handles healthcare at the jail, and others.
Overcrowding, underfunding, lack of training, violence, poor mental health treatment and denial of legal services are just a few of the many claims made in the lengthy suit, which you can read in full below.

Well, it looks like yet another multi-million dollar lawsuit the county will be on the hook for!! Budish needs to be recalled immediately along with his cohort Taxin Jackson! Both of these thieves need to be put in jail for their constant Tax thievery, financial mismanagement, and Complete disregard for taxpayer money!
Of course the Scene knew about this years ago but chose to ignore it.
