Green et al. v. Massachusetts Department of Corrections et al. (2021)
People incarcerated in Massachusetts, along with Justice Catalyst Law and BraunHagey Borden, filed a lawsuit against the Massachusetts Department of Corrections (DOC) on July 29, 2021 seeking to stop the DOC’s use of a defective and faulty drug test manufactured by Sirchie Acquisition Company, LLC. The DOC has been using the faulty test on legal mail sent into DOC facilities – which, during the pandemic, frequently has been the only means for attorneys to communicate with their clients – and it has resulted in a slew of false positive results. News about the lawsuit was recently featured in the Boston Globe, Vice, and The Marshall Project.
