Four Washington, D.C., jail officers, including the warden, have been fired in connection with the strip searches of several middle school students. The students visited the jail as part of an in-school suspension program. Nine boys say they underwent strip searches. Meanwhile, families of girls who say they were strip-searched on another occasion say they plan to file a multimillion-dollar lawsuit.
