The deaths of two men in a South Florida jail raise serious questions about the 'quality of medical care' in the facility and should be investigated, public defender says.
The deaths of two men, and the reported illness of a third man, in a Florida jail raise serious questions about the"quality of medical care" in the facility and should be investigated, the county public defender's office said.
The two men who were being held in the Broward County Jail at the time of their deaths have not been publicly identified. In his letter, Finkelstein refers to one man who died on June 1, 2019, at the age of 41. The man's"cries for help and medical assistance were ignored," according to other inmates, the letter said.
"He had been adjudged incompetent to proceed due to his mental illness. He was just shy of his 48th birthday. Yet he died in jail," the letter said.
