Children Sue to Restore Contact Visits in the Adams County Jail, Asserting Their Right to Hug Their Parents

Singleton Schreiber LLP has joined Public Justice and other advocacy groups in suing Adams County, the County Sheriff, and telecom company HomeWAV, asking the Colorado state court to affirm families’ constitutional right to hug their parents. The lawsuit claims the defendants conspired to eliminate in-person jail visits and replace them with costly video and phone calls for profit, violating the Colorado Constitution’s protection of family relationships. This is the third case under the Right 2 Hug Project, following two similar lawsuits in Michigan. The plaintiffs are represented by Public Justice, Civil Rights Corps, Maxted Law, LLC, Spero Justice Center, Singleton Schreiber LLP, and the National Center for Youth Law.
