Abstract:
In his 2014 order Judge Bexley found that South Carolina DOC inmates died as a result of no basic mental health care, and that thousands more were placed at risk. Eight years into litigation, the hundreds of thousands of tax dollars spent defending this lawsuit could have be better expended to improve mental health services delivery at SCDC.Keywords: Brown v.
