Jones v. Hayman, A-3173-09T3; Appellate Division; opinion by Fuentes, J.A.D.; decided and approved for publication February 25, 2011. Before Judges Fuentes, Ashrafi and Nugent. On appeal from the Chancery Division, Mercer County, C-123-07. [Sat below: Judge Sypek.] DDS No. 13-2-1122 [24 pp.]
Plaintiffs Kathleen Jones, Lakesha Jones, Sylvia Flynn and Helen Ewell were inmates confined in the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility (EMCF), an all-female penal facility. They, and other female inmates, were transferred to the previously all-male New Jersey State Prison (NJSP), allegedly to reduce the overall inmate population at EMCF and alleviate some of the strain on resources there.
