ST. LOUIS, Mo. (First Alert 4) – Inez Bordeaux said she spent a month inside the former medium security institution also known as “the workhouse” in 2016.
Following her release, she spent years as one of the leading voices to close the facility.
“It was only 30 days but it was the longest 30 days of my life,” she said. “It is infested with rats and roaches, it does have black mold growing on the walls, you see the snakes and the roaches in people’s food, just being treated like you’re something someone scraped off the bottom of their shoe every day.”
Former Mayor Tishaura Jones closed the jail in 2022.
Demolition started this year.
Tuesday, ArchCity Defenders announced they reached a $4 million dollar settlement agreement with the city of St. Louis. The firm estimates at least 16,000 formerly incarcerated people could receive a portion of the cash settlement.
“The way it’ll be calculated is based on a daily rate,” said Nathaniel Carroll, one of ArchCity’s senior staff attorneys. “Everyone who submits a claim form, we’ll add up the total days they spent in jail and we’ll divide the settlement money by those days and you get a daily rate.”
Former Mayor Jones signed off on the settlement two days after losing her re-election bid.
Current Mayor Cara Spencer said at a news conference Tuesday the city will follow a judge’s decision.
“I can’t really speak to those decisions that was before I was sworn into office,” she told reporters. “But, of course, the city is planning on if the court, still subject to court approval of course but the city does intend to support that.
First Alert 4 asked ArchCity Defenders if Jones’ past support of closing the workhouse and her administration signing off on the settlement agreement was a conflict of interest.
“While the mayor might have been a fan of some of the things we did, the city counselor’s office was really driving the litigation,” Carroll said. “Which is why there was an appeal even though Mayor Jones wanted to settle or at least intimated, I would say but we had been negotiating prior to the transition and the election as well with the city councilor’s office, not with the mayor.”
Years after her incarceration, Bordeaux who now works as the Deputy Director of Organizing at ArchCity Defenders said she is in the process of establishing a community resource hub for former inmates.
Looking forward to finally closing the book on the workhouse.
“It’s a closure,” she said. “An end of the workhouse era.”
ArchCity Defenders said if the settlement moves smoothly through the courts, they expect payments to start to go out in late summer or early fall.
Those who believe they might be eligible for part of the settlement money can fill out a form here.

BEIJING, May 23 (Xinhua) — World Aquatics, the global governing body for swimming, has denounced the concept of the Enhanced Games and instead promoted a healthy and fulfilling sporting lifestyle, according to a statement sent to Xinhua on Wednesday.
The Enhanced Games, which propose allowing athletes to use performance-enhancing substances while competing in swimming, track and strength events, announced plans to hold their inaugural edition over Memorial Day weekend in Las Vegas in May 2026.
“The Enhanced Games are not a sporting competition built on universal values like honesty, fairness and equity: they are a circus, built on shortcuts,” World Aquatics said in the statement.
“The enduring power of athletes to serve as role models for children and adults alike relies on their talent, hard work, respect and friendship. That’s what we see in our champions and in our competitions, and that’s what we’ll continue to showcase.”
“The way to a long, healthy and happy sporting life is readily available. It doesn’t require a costly cocktail of anti-ageing drugs. Train consistently, eat well, rest well and enjoy the company of other athletes.”
“This is something we already know from the millions of masters swimmers who continue to regularly set new records for human performance at the World Aquatics Masters Championships, some aged over 100. We invite the world to come and learn from these true champions as they compete again in Singapore this summer,” World Aquatics said.
The World Aquatics Masters Championships will take place from July 26-August 22 in Singapore, with approximately 6,000 master-aged aquatics athletes from more than 100 countries and regions competing in swimming, diving, water polo, artistic swimming and open water swimming. ■
