AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — The NAACP’s Maine State Prison chapter is raising allegations of inadequate health care services, adding to concerns after a wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the father of a prisoner who died from an infection.
Inmates told Maine Public for a story Monday that they were concerned about Andrew Leighton's breathing before his death. The NAACP chapter said in a lawsuit filed in January that he sought treatment five times before he was found unresponsive in his cell on Oct. 1, 2018.
Nashville, Tennessee-based Wellpath LLC declined to comment on the lawsuit. The company's contract is currently up for renewal in Maine.
