Ex-Inmate Gets $1.25M for Baby's Death
Posted on: Friday, 20 April 2007, 00:00 CDT
Prison Health Services, a private contractor, has agreed to pay $1.25 million to a former Florida jail inmate for the death of her newborn baby.
Kimberly Grey gave birth in the infirmary of a jail in Tampa in 2004. Records indicate that staff in the infirmary, then operated by PHS, refused to send Grey to a hospital when she said she was having labor pains, The Tampa Tribune reported.
The baby boy, three months premature, died of a lung infection.
PHS, based in Brentwood, Tenn., agreed to the settlement while a jury was deliberating Wednesday. The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office agreed to a $350,000 settlement in November.
The company lost the contract at the jail in 2005.
