Inmate says he got MRSA because of jail overcrowding - News - The Charleston Gazette - West Virginia News and Sports -.
A Roane County man is suing the West Virginia's Regional Jail Authority, alleging that he developed a staph infection because medical staff did not change his ostomy pouch regularly during his incarceration this summer. Roy Dennis, 43, of Spencer, filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Roane Circuit Court. Dennis alleges that severe overcrowding at the Central Regional Jail in Flatwoods caused jail officials to neglect his medical needs.
