Ashley Brown was classified all three times between 2021 and 2022 as "at-risk" for self-harm, the outlet says. While in the at-risk unit, Brown was required to wear a special outfit and was housed in a monitored, isolated cell, the suit says.

The repeated strip searches were monitored on camera and broadcast to male and female jail staffers in 20 locations across the facility, and as a result of the searches, Brown alleges "severe emotional and psychological distress."
