Prisoners Win Suit
Greenville, SC: (Mar-08-08) Twenty-five prisoners brought a lawsuit against Greenville County, alleging that they contracted drug-resistant staph at the county jail. The suit claimed that the prison provided substandard medical care and failed to provide basic sanitation during the staph outbreak nearly two years ago. Medical practitioners stated that Staph infections can spread through close skin-to-skin contact and in places with crowded living conditions and poor hygiene.
Sources stated that the two sides had reached a settlement in the case, in which Greenville County has agreed to pay $80,000 to resolve the inmates' allegations. Legal counsel for the plaintiffs said that the terms of the settlement cannot be revealed because the final paperwork had not been completed. [THE STATE: PRISONERS WHO CONTRACTED STAPH SETTLE]
