Calif Prisoners With Hepatitis C Sue For Treatment
A group of California prisoners infected with hepatitis C say they are suing the state because they aren't getting proper medical treatment.
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court seeks class action status. The filing estimates that as many as 40 percent of the state's 190,000 inmates are infected, and many report difficulty getting adequate care.
Lead plaintiff Kevin Jackson is an inmate at the California State Prison at Solano. He says despite a 2007 diagnosis of an advanced stage of the disease, he was repeatedly refused treatment.
A call seeking comment from the state corrections department was not immediately returned.
