"Behind bars, they beg for medical attention from a giant government contractor. For some, help doesn't come - or it comes too late. A CNN investigation exposes preventable deaths and dangerous care that government agencies have failed to stop."

"..."Help, I am very sick," wrote Jeff Lillis, a father of five who was booked into Colorado's Arapahoe County jail in 2014. The 37-year-old, who had a history of drug- and theft-related charges, was never seen by a doctor.
He died in a pool of blood and vomit. An autopsy showed he died of sepsis after a case of pneumonia became so severe that his left lung nearly doubled in weight from the infection.

Stewart, Scott and Lillis were among hundreds of thousands of inmates whose medical care has been entrusted to Correct Care Solutions (CCS).
Recently renamed Wellpath after being acquired by a multibillion-dollar private equity firm and combined with a smaller competitor, it is the nation's largest for-profit provider of health care to correctional facilities. The company has won government contracts that span more than 500 facilities in 34 states. "

Those evil weed smokers and poor folk who can't pay the minimum bail to get out of jail.

Yep. We're in great company among the authoritarian regimes around the world.

We love violence. State violence, domestic violence, political violence, we thrive on it. And it will be our undoing.

But it's our choice.
