SEATTLE (AP) - Kenny Williams died at Monroe Correctional Complex two years ago after having cancer that went untreated despite his repeated pleas to the state Department of Corrections.
His case has been cited by a state watchdog report as an egregious example of Corrections’ repeated failures to provide lifesaving health care for people who are incarcerated in state prisons, The Seattle Times reported.
Now, Williams’ family is suing the department in King County Superior Court, alleging “systemic negligence” led to his suffering and death. The suit seeks $10 million in damages.
