Wellpath Holdings, the largest provider of healthcare in U.S. jails and prisons, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year facing over 1,500 medical malpractice lawsuits. This legal maneuver aims to restructure the company and mitigate potential liabilities exceeding $100 million while staying lawsuits during the process. Critics view this as a tactic to evade accountability for alleged negligence resulting in inmate deaths. Family members of victims expressed frustration, feeling sidelined in the bankruptcy process as unsecured creditors, prioritizing their desire to be heard over financial compensation.
Now they're filing bankruptcy the chances are I could get next to nothing but really I don't even give a shit about the money, said Nicole. I just want to be heard.
Critics say that the move is a cynical attempt to avoid paying out to the families of people devastated by the company's actions.
