Prisoners Seeking Medical Care Not Certified as a Class

Shook v. Board of County Commissioners, 2008 WL 3982987 (8/29/08) (Published) - A troubling roadblock to prisoners obtaining better medical care. The 10th finds no abuse of discretion [although it might have decided differently, it claims] when the district court refused to certify prisoners of a Colorado jail as a class because the named plaintiffs had different complaints that required different individualized remedies.
