Correctional Services Company Faces Criminal Charges In Inmate Death

The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office has charged a Florida-based correctional services company with seven misdemeanor counts of falsifying health records.  Armor Correctional Health Services cares for inmates at the Milwaukee County Jail.  The charges are connected to the dehydration death of an inmate.  Thirty-eight-year-old Terrill Thomas went seven days without water as punishment in 2016.  Prosecutors accuse Armor staff members of reporting they had checked on Thomas, when video surveillance shows they didn’t.  The company says it will “vigorously defend all claims.”
