Jails struggle to halt inmate personal crisis cases nationwide
A joint AP and University of Maryland investigation shows many jails sued or investigated for denying medications or ignoring cries for help. In Lake County Elizabeth Gaunt, 56, hanged herself after begging for a doctor while logged as fine. Ottawa County later won a wrongful death suit after inmate Scott Meirs hanged himself five days after arrest for drug theft. Sheriff Kempker defended deputies saying no observed crisis behavior.
