A recently released report, commissioned by State Rep. Mandie Landry
through a concurrent resolution in the House and Senate, indicates that the roughly 16,000 incarcerated people living in Louisiana’s eight state-managed prisons face major barriers to accessing adequate health care.
Landry, whose district is in New Orleans, and the team that produced the report presented the study’s findings to the Louisiana House of Representatives Committee on Health and Wealthfare on Wednesday.
The Medical Co-Pay
One major setback identified is the required copay $3 for a sick call visit, $2 for a prescription visit and $6 for an emergency visit. Incentive pay for incarcerated people begins at $.02 per hour. According to the report, the $3 co-pay works out to the equivalent of someone who earns the minimum wage of $7.25 paying $1,087.50 for a doctor’s visit. ....

Louisiana Prisons Hired Doctors Barred From Most Hospital Work

Copy
In 2006, Randy Lavespere, a Louisiana doctor, was convicted of buying $8,000 of methamphetamine in a Home Depot parking lot with intent to distribute. He served two years in prison, and his medical license was revoked. But even though he had been convicted of a felony and barred from practicing medicine in most circumstances, he was allowed to treat patients in at least one setting: Louisiana state prisons.
In November 2009, just one month after the Louisiana State Medical Board reinstated his medical license and put him on indefinite probation, Lavespere was hired as a physician at the largest maximum security prison in the country, Louisiana State Penitentiary better known as Angola, after the plantation on which it was built. Lavespere rose through the ranks at the prison, becoming the institution’s medical director in November 2014, less than three weeks after his license was fully reinstated. Earlier this year, he was promoted again, and now serves as the ....

Right to unanimous jury in Louisiana could be applied retroactively

More than 1,500 prisoners remain behind bars in Louisiana after being convicted by non-unanimous juries, a relic of the Jim Crow era that in April 2019 was deemed unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 6-3 decision.
Before that decision, which overturned a 1972 ruling, only Louisiana and Oregon allowed convictions by juries that weren’t in full agreement. Currently, the law change only applies to cases starting April 2019.
But an ongoing Supreme Court case by one Louisiana prisoner could require the state to offer new trials to those previously convicted by split juries.
The Supreme Court has until June to decide whether or not the law change must be applied retroactively. In preparation for the decision, lawyers such as Jamila Johnson, managing attorney with the Promise of Justice Initiative, are working rapidly to identify hundreds of prisoners previously impacted by this law to petition for new trials. The legal team has identified more than 1,500 ind ....
