“Do no harm" or "Do no expense"? Ohio's prisoners are dying from
inadequate medical care |
In August, the
Columbus Dispatch and WBNS-TV published a multi-part exposé of the
inadequate medical care in Ohio's prisons. The series exposed
wrongful deaths, inadequate care and questionable doctors. Almost
2,600 Ohio prisoners are known to be infected with Hepatitis C and
health officials estimate the true figure to be closer to 9,000. As
of July, the number of prisoners receiving treatment for Hepatitis C
was 16. In September, the Prison Reform Advocacy Center in
Cincinnati filed a class action lawsuit challenging these
conditions. |

Human Trafficking in Ohio |
This monograph
is designed to provide context about human trafficking in Ohio to
help inform and shape public discourse and practical responses to
it. To do so, it systematically explores human trafficking in terms
of its existence and characteristics and in terms of how the
criminal justice and social service communities have responded to
it. The goal is to provide policymakers and practitioners with
information to help improve their efforts to protect and provide
services to victims and to bring perpetrators to justice. This
monograph will also be of value to legislators and practitioners in
other states who are concerned about this issue, as well as to
researchers who are seeking to better understand human tracking and
the social response to it. |

Report: Waits lengthy to see prison doc |
Ohio prison
inmates face long waits for treatment by physicians who often
are overworked and sometimes have histories of disciplinary
problems, a newspaper and television station's investigation
shows. At least two inmates died minutes after being released
from prison clinics, and others have gone days without receiving
prescribed medicines, according to the three-month investigation
reported Sunday by The Columbus Dispatch and WBNS-TV. |
