New York City has agreed to pay $33 Million in money damages to approximately 100,000 pretrial detainees arraigned on misdemeanors and lesser offenses who were illegally strip searched at admission to a City jail between 1999 and 2007, even though there was no reason to believe they were concealing drugs or contraband. Those illegally strip searched were being held on minor offenses - such as jumping turnstiles, failing to pay child support, shoplifting, and trespassing - and there was no reason to believe they were concealing drugs or contraband.
