The prison system is facing a string of lawsuits alleging deficient medical care and wrongful death, filed on behalf of inmates who became ill in prison. An inmate is suing after being forced to give birth in her cell at the York Correctional Institution for women, and another former York inmate has brought forward allegations of sexual assault that have already led to the firings of four correctional officers and the arrests of three. A class action lawsuit indicts the system for failing to screen for hepatitis C.
