A federal lawsuit filed yesterday alleges corrections officers at the St. Louis City Justice Center regularly abused detainees.
The suit alleges at least three inmates were tear-gassed without warning and then denied medical care afterward.
Officials in the suit said the incidents were "indicative of a widespread pattern inside CJC of using mace on nonaggressive individuals, without cause or warning."
City of St. Louis officials said they are reviewing the lawsuit.
