Our law firm handles jail neglect cases, including the following:

Jail Abuse

Many different forms of assault can occur in jail, including rape and groping. These acts may involve the use of drugs, sexual torture, or coercion and can occur between one inmate against another, or by a jailer or other jail 

employee against an inmate.

Jail Death

A jail death, or in-custody inmate death, refers to any instance of an inmate passing away while in a jail facility, including lockups, county or parish jails, or in a hospital where an inmate is receiving care. This may occur when an inmate experiences neglect, abuse, inadequate medical attention, and a lack of proper safety and supervision.

Jail Suicide

Many risk factors contribute to suicides in jail, including mental health issues and isolation. Those facing challenges like substance use, past trauma, or previous self-harm are particularly vulnerable.

Jail Medical Care Denial

Medical care denial for jail detainees refers to the indifference or failure to address an individual's medical care needs. This denial often occurs when a jail detainee’s symptoms are ignored, when they have an infection that is not given medical attention, or when they fail to receive prescribed medications.

Jail Mental Health

Denial of mental health care can occur when inmates do not receive treatment during their incarceration. This includes situations where individuals who were taking medication for mental health conditions at the time of admission do not continue to receive their medication while in jail. 

People who are in jail have a constitutional right to receive reasonable medical care. These rights apply to both pre-trial detainees (people awaiting trial) and convicted inmates (people who have already been convicted).

The amount of medical care a prisoner is entitled to depends on the severity of their medical need, and the medical conditions and situations that may arise from a lack of medical care is varied.

Ultimately, when a person is incarcerated against his or her will, the state has the constitutional responsibility to act humanely and to protect the prisoner's health and safety.
