Brain Cancer Person Not Allowed Meds In Jail

[tw122]

What is the name of your state? Tennessee
My exhusband is receiving experimental treatment for a rare form of brain cancer. He was arrested and it took 9 days to get him bonded out. He is only 41 years old, has had 2 heart attacks, and takes numerous medications on a daily basis. While he was in jail, he was not permitted to have any of his medications, and was told that they did not care if he died in jail. He became so ill that at one point they cuffed and shackled him, thru him in a squad car, and took him to a local hospital. The doctor told the police that he needed to be admitted at least over night. The police told the doctor to do what ever he could, but that he was taking him right back to jail. Does this qualify for a law suit, and if so, who all should it be against?What is the name of your state?

Take your case to a local lawyer to see if you have sufficient proof of an 8th Amendment cruel and unusual case based on the jail's failure to provide needed medical care.

Consult a local attorney. If he had had one from the get go his medical issues may have been taken more seriously.
