AdvertisementTogether, the claims describe a US prison medical culture defined by a gross disregard for human life. In dozens of cases in BI's sample, incarcerated people said they were denied emergency medical treatment by corrections officers or medical staff despite obvious medical distress. But according to his complaint and internal grievance files, the prison medical staff denied Kirk's request to be seen at a hospital. In at least a dozen cases BI examined, outside medical authorities, such as hospital doctors, testified that the medical treatment prisoners received was substandard. As Mann's abdominal pain continued over the next two years, according to medical records, prison medical staff ordered X-rays and lab work but did not conduct a thorough oncological screening.

It does not appear that Mr. Johnson had connections in Georgia, but a building manager of the apartment complex where he was living told Mr. Wright that Mr. Johnson had one friend who would visit him. The building manager also said that Mr. Johnson was known to his neighbors as William Cox or “Bud.” When U.S. Marshal officers went to question him, they had no indication that he was employed, but upon his arrest Mr. Johnson mentioned he had a pension. Before his escape in 1994, Mr. Johnson was serving a state sentence in Oregon for three counts of sex abuse and one count of attempted sodomy. Mr. Wright would not disclose details on the new technology to protect the secrecy of future investigations using the method.
