J.H., a minor litigant identified by court documents only by initials, filed suit against Edwards, presumably an administrator of a juvenile detention center, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The complaint alleges that the facility's management of the COVID-19 pandemic infringed upon J.H.'s Eighth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Specifically, J.H. contends that insufficient social distancing measures, inadequate sanitation protocols, and a failure to implement population reduction strategies created an environment that exposed juveniles to an elevated risk of substantial physical and psychological harm.

J.H., a minor incarcerated in a juvenile detention center, filed a lawsuit against Edwards, who appears to be an administrator of the facility, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington. The lawsuit alleges that the facility's management of the COVID-19 pandemic infringed upon J.H.'s Eighth Amendment right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment and Fourteenth Amendment right to due process and equal protection under the law. Specifically, J.H. contends that the facility's failure to implement adequate social distancing measures, maintain proper sanitation and hygiene protocols, and reduce the number of juveniles housed in close proximity created an environment that exposed them to a heightened risk of severe physical and psychological harm.

A teenager, known only as J.H., has filed a lawsuit against Edwards, who likely oversees a juvenile detention facility in the Eastern District of Washington. The lawsuit claims that the facility didn't do enough to protect the health and safety of the young people held there during the COVID-19 pandemic. J.H. argues that because the facility didn't enforce social distancing or proper hygiene practices, and because it remained crowded, the teenagers there were at risk of getting seriously sick, both physically and mentally.

A young person, whose name is being kept secret and is being called J.H., is suing the person in charge of a place where teenagers are held for breaking the law. J.H. says that the place, which is in the Eastern part of Washington state, didn't do enough to protect the teenagers during the time when COVID-19 was a big problem. J.H. says that because the teenagers couldn't stay away from each other, didn't have enough soap and hand sanitizer, and the place was so crowded, it was easy to get sick, which is dangerous and unfair.
