Personal Restraint Petition of M.T.M.L.
This is a consolidated case for two petitioners. Petitioners are residents at the Green Hill School, a DCYF-operated juvenile facility. Petitioners allege the conditions at Green Hill are in violation of the United States Constitution and Washington State law. Petitioners contend the facility is overcrowded, they are commonly locked in their rooms all day, and they lack reasonable access to the bathroom and, as a consequence, have been forced to relieve themselves in plastic containers. Petitioners ask to be released into a community facility or, in the alternative, DCYF must remedy the conditions immediately. COA# 867075 (consolidated with COA # 867156.)
