Description
A Washington agency settled a lawsuit from a coalition of 13 counties after its sudden decision last month to suspend intakes of new offenders.
Lewis County prosecutor Jonathan Meyer said Thursday the Green Hill School in Chehalis will resume intakes of all new inmates at the facility Friday and will pay the Washington counties' attorneys fees as part of the settlement.
The Washington counties sued the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families after the agency said it would not accept new inmates at Green Hill and Echo Glen Children's Center in Snoqualmie. According to the DCYF, the intake freeze at Echo Glen Children's Center was lifted a few weeks ago.
