CONTRADICTS INMATES' ACCOUNT - Decemer 10, 2005 - Prison Health Services,
the largest private provider of its kind in the nation, has faced two lawsuits
in Gwinnett and criticism from local officials in other states in recent
months. Lawyers for Frederick Jerome Williams, a Lawrenceville deacon
and father of four, filed a lawsuit in Gwinnett County State Court on Thursday
against Prison Health Services, Gwinnett County Sheriff Butch Conway, two
police officers, four sheriff's deputies and Taser International, a company
which manufacturers stun guns. That lawsuits claims that a paramedic employed
by PHS responded slowly and did not seem very concerned when Williams lost
consciousness. |
