Illinois Inmate Injury Settlement

A relative is an inmate at Dixon Corretional in Dixion Illinois. He was moved to a location there where he knew he would get injured and he said he warned the officials several times not to because the guy said he was going to hurt him. Regardless they moved him in anyways, then he gets into the fight with that guy and gets jumped, and now had to get stitches in the eye region. He said he has everything documented and now the officials are being super accommodating to him after everything. Is there a violationof the state version of FTCA and is there a case to sue?

When I was incarcerated I had a severe injury. When I told them to take me to the hospital, they denied me for 3 days. Due to that I lost one of my testicles. When I finally was able to go to the emergency room the doctor who performed surgery explained that if they had sent me earlier, it could have been saved.

My nephew is an inmate at Dixon Correctional in Dixon, Illinois. Last week he started suffering multiple seizures, we believe that on Thursday, or there about, he became unconscious. Inmates carried him to the nurse where she stated, \"he was faking it and looking for attention.\" Eventually, from what we gathered, EMS was called onsite where they started an IV and transferred him to Javon Bea Hospital, after multiple searches my brother, his father, was able to track him to Javon Bea Hospital in Rockford, IL. My brother was able to speak to a nurse who then informed him my nephew suffered a fontal lobe brain bleed. My nephew is expected to undergo testing today, 11/13/2023. We believe there was negligence on the part of the nurse and correctional center and my nephew suffered needlessly. We would like to talk to someone who could possibly let us know what legal rights we have.

Hello..another victim of Dixon correctional facility... My son was having symptoms of seizures and then strokes. He repeatedly reportedcti staff and the outsourced medical staff. The jail staff told him he was \" fucking faking it\" and / or stop racking..that went on for 4 days Finally after suffering a stroke while in the phone with me they \"only \" made him wait one more night. He was then taken to kSB hospital which had him med flighted into Rockford ( mercy?) Hospital..5 day stay diagnosed with brain bleed, strokes and seizures. Then sent back to jail. Had more symptoms, reported and begged for 3 more days . They took him to KSB again ..put in steroids sent back . No improvement...another 3 ir 4 days later he went again to KSb and was again sent to Rockford. This was a week ago Friday he started in hospital and Tuesday morning( would have done surgery on monday night but didn\'t have specialist available. Craniotomy...oh I forgot to mention that as he was having notable cognitive decline partial paralysis and horrible headaches the entire time ,sent out of medical back into general population causing him to fear for his life...PLEASE I need to find a way to make sure he doesn\'t become a statistic...they are very understaffed in their medical department..this same company has had multiple suits brought against them. my son may be just a number to them but hes my reason for being .... thank you...

My son, Kevan, was severely beaten by another inmate on 11/10/23 while in custody at the Kendall County Jail. There were no guards nearby and the beating continued for roughly 10-minutes. His injuries required a craniotomy. The commander of the unit denies any neglect by her officers.
