Show Notes
Bradley Ketchersides widow files a federal lawsuit against Missouri Department of Corrections and Centurion Health, alleging denial of medication-assisted treatment for his opioid use disorder, leading to his overdose death. The suit claims a pattern of delaying or blocking care, with officials punishing use instead of offering proven treatments. Ketchersides widow describes prison life as inhumane, with inmates facing more danger inside than on the streets. The lawsuit seeks damages and court orders to fix these issues.
