“Thirty inmates at a St. Louis jail want to join a class-action lawsuit saying they were forced into a ‘gladiator-style’ fight club — all for the amusement of guards. The potential for additional plaintiffs comes a year after the original suit was filed against the city and alleges a systemic problem at the Medium Security Institution, which is nicknamed the Workhouse. ‘What was happening was the guards were actually taking inmates out of the cells, placing them in cells with other inmates and forcing them to fight each other,’ Brown told St. Louis radio station KMOX. The station said the city has filed a response denying the allegations.”
