Frank Smart died an unnecessary and preventable death. Photograph: Tomi Lynn Harris One pill. I lost my son over one pill. On the first Saturday in January this year, my son arrived at the Allegheny County Jail in Pennsylvania. On Monday – not long after midnight – he was declared dead by Mercy Hospital. If the guards and the Corizon staff (a for-profit correctional healthcare company) at the hospital had been willing to provide him with the medicine that he needed to stay alive, he would not have died. You see, my son had seizures. The last major seizure he had was so bad that he bit off a piece of his own tongue. It scared him, and he took his medicine religiously, twice a day. He knew when a seizure was coming, and it took a few hours for it to come on. So when he was locked up, the Corizon staff listed the medications he needed to take, and when he needed to take them, on the intake form provided to jail authorities. Yet, soon after arriving in jail, he called his girlfriend to let her know that he wasn’t receiving it. Knowing my son, he must have asked for the medicine multiple times. He feared having seizures, for good reason. So why didn’t the jail give it to him? It was in his records at the Allegheny County Jail that he needed his medication mornings and evenings, but according to Corizon’s own records he only received a single dose during his entire time in jail. When he started to seize, the only thing between him and his death was that one pill that everybody in charge of his oversight at ACJ had failed to give him. Instead, when he started having a seizure, Frank was forcibly restrained, handcuffed, shackled, had his face covered with a “spit mask,” and turned over on his stomach, according to records from Corizon. He became unresponsive and was taken to the hospital where he died. My son had not even gone to trial, yet he was sentenced to die by the cruelty of a system that does not believe that inmates have a right to adequate health treatment.

To: BobCeleste (#0) Don't jump me over this because I am ignorant of the reality and just asking,but isn't all the medical care for prisons and prisoners out-sourced these days? Since out-sourcing is a prime source of government contracts for the politically-connected that donate to politicians in a position to make sure they get the contracts,I have a hard time believing this cash cow has been overlooked. sneakypete  posted on  2015-02-24   12:45:48 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 1. #2.

Pete, to the best of my knowledge it is, and in most cases it is not any worse than any other form of obamacare, but, in a closed society, like a jail or prison, it is easy to kill those not liked or not paying, or not cooperating. Life in the US since February of 1962 has become very cheap and is getting cheaper each year. BobCeleste  posted on  2015-02-24 13:01:47 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #3.
