A federal judge rejected a settlement reached in January in which the Connecticut Department of Corrections agreed to test all inmates entering the system for hepatitis C and treat them if they have the potentially fatal liver disease. While the agreement seems like a win for the inmates, U.S. District Court Judge Michael P. Shea pointed out a section of the agreement that basically prevents inmates from suing the state for anything that happened before April 1, 2020.
