Milwaukee County to audit medical care in jails after 4 deaths

Milwaukee County auditors have started a wide-ranging investigation into medical care at the county's two jails, where four people have died in recent months and a court-appointed monitor found numerous problems related to inmate treatment.

Jerry Heer, director of audits for the Milwaukee County Office of the Comptroller, confirmed this week that auditors plan to investigate whether Armor Correctional Health Services is meeting contract requirements and standards of medical care. Armor, a Miami-based for-profit company, has contracted with the county since 2013 to provide medical care at the Milwaukee County Jail and the House of Correction.

Theodore Lipscomb Sr., chairman of the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, requested the audit in early November, days after a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article detailed Armor's staffing and performance issues amid the rash of deaths at the Milwaukee County Jail. Comptroller Scott Manske agreed one day later to start the audit, Heer said.

Medical examiner 'threatened' by Clarke over jail deaths

.....................................
All four deaths at Clarke's jail remain under investigation and as a result, detectives and the medical examiner's office have released few details about them. But some information has emerged through public records in three of the cases.`

1. Pitchfork Clark is a disgrace.

Lock him up in one of his jails and let him die of thirst like other inmates have.
