3 Danbury FCI inmates released to home confinement sue over reincarceration

A lawsuit has been filed by three women claiming their release from Danbury Federal Correctional Institution to home confinement during the pandemic was revoked without due process.  The Legal Clinic at Quinnipiac University School of Law says there is no opportunity for a hearing, even when child custody or care is impacted.  The Federal Bureau of Prisons says there is an appeal process through the Administrative Remedy Program, based on the circumstances of their cases.  The reentry center in charge of home confinement for one woman suing, Nordia Tompkins, claimed they couldn't reach her while she was at school.  Virginia Lallave has had a baby since her release to home confinement in June 2020.  According to court documents, she allegedly tested positive for , but she hasn't been provided the toxicology report.  Eva Cardoza, who reestablished connections with her children, also allegedly tested positive for marijuana. The suit is seeking a declaration from a federal judge that lack of due process is unconstitutional.  Their argument is that home confinement should have protections similar to release to probation and parole.
