• declining to find that plaintiffs’ claims were moot in absence of statutory imperative imposed upon defendants
• Adequacy “requires that Plaintiff demonstrate that her interests will not conflict with those of class members and that her counsel is qualified, experienced and able to vigorously conduct the proposed litigation.”
• “To require Plaintiff to prove that each individual [strip] search was unsupportable, as well as indiscriminate, would be unnecessary and unfair. Given that these women were routinely strip-searched, the burden rests on Defendants to demonstrate that particular searches were reasonable.”
