Inmates at Mississippi prison were exposed to dangerous chemicals, denied health care, lawsuit says
SUMMARY: Inmates at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility were forced to mix raw cleaning chemicals without protective equipment, leading to one woman, Susan Balfour, contracting terminal cancer. Balfour was incarcerated for 33 years and claims she was not given timely medical care for her cancer. The companies contracted to provide healthcare to prisoners at the facility allegedly failed to schedule follow-up cancer screenings. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages and alleges at least 15 other inmates have cancer and are not receiving life-saving care. The companies’ contracts were said to encourage cost-cutting, and Balfour may have had detectable cancer over a decade ago.
