Op-ed: Stateville prison's tap water gave me lead poisoning
Briefly

At my first health checkup in February 2022, after serving nearly 13 years in prison, the doctor told me I had lead poisoning.And not a mild case.I had lead running through my veins at levels that required urgent treatment (83 micrograms per deciliter.)Lead levels higher than 10 micrograms per deciliter can cause constipation, nausea, headaches, nosebleeds and vomiting; I was experiencing all of these symptoms and more.
