GALESBURG, Ill. (KWQC) -The Mary Davis Home will have to go back to the drawing board with their mental health plan. On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled their revised mental health plan didn\u2019t address the concerns brought forward by the ACLU of Illinois.<\/p>\n

The ACLU brought the lawsuit in 2024 over what they called illegal solitary confinement and a lack of mental health treatment that even included kids being denied care when they were suicide watch<\/b><\/a> according to testimony.<\/p>\n

A preliminary injunction required the facility to end its confinement practices and draft a new mental health plan. While the facility submitted a plan, the ACLU called it out for being a near copy of old policies with minimal change<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Mary Davis Home claimed it adjusted policy and had logs which proved any confinement they had over the last few months was legal, but a judge didn\u2019t think their policy changes went far enough.<\/p>\n

The Mary Davis Home will three weeks to submit a new mental health plan. The two sides will meet for a decision on the new policy draft on February 25.<\/p>\n
