Inmate Files Lawsuit Against Correct Care Solutions in Memphis
Last month I filed a lawsuit on behalf of the family of a mentally ill inmate who died while in custody at the Shelby County Criminal Justice Center. The lawsuit names both Shelby County and the private prison company that provides medical services for inmates, Correct Care Solutions.
In this case, the plaintiffs allege that Correct Care Solutions and Shelby County placed the inmate in an isolated cell and ignored his serious medical needs over the next few days. The Complaint alleges that the inmate was even deprived of basic necessities such as clothing, food, and water.
Because this lawsuit involves medical treatment of an inmate and the deprivation of constitutional rights, the lawsuit alleges both federal civil rights violations and Tennessee state law claims of negligence and medical malpractice. I have written elsewhere about an inmate’s right to bring a lawsuit for the denial of medical care.
This is the second lawsuit I have handled against Correct Care Solutions involving the mistreatment of inmates. Read about the other one here.
