No.20  \n## GEORGIA TO TEST NEWLAWDESIGNED TO CURB INMATEUSE OF JAIL MEDICAL CARE\n\nGeorgia jailers hope a new law will helpcurb the number of inmates using jail time to getfree medical care at the taxpayers'expense.  \nCounties in the Atlanta area last year spent  \nS7.1 million on inmate hospital bills.ForsythCounty alone spent $150,000 to treat patients in its64-bed jail.  \nSometimes it makes more sense,law en-forcement officials said,just to let an ill criminalgo.  \n\"A $40,000 heart attack can be a whole lotworse than a $500 bad check,\"said Capt.JerryPadgett of the Forsyth County Sheriff's Depart-ment.  \n\"It's happened several times that we'll beholding someone on a bond waiting trial,and he'llhave a heart attack and go in for $100,000 in hospi-tal bills.So we let him go for that time,\"Padgettsaid.\"We have to protect our resources the bestwe can.\"  \nInmate Ricky Mosley,32,of Roswell has ahabit of having medical emergencies in jail,according to Alpharetta Police Chief GordonDillon.In one case,Mosley ran up a $22,000hospital bill.  \nWhen Mosley asked for paramedics an hourafter he was arrested July 29 in Alpharetta on badcheck charges,Dillon decided to let Mosley signhis own bond and go free until his court date.  \nSeptember 30,1992  \nPage 1  \nIN THIS ISSUE                 \nJAIL MEDICAL CARE:Will Georgia  \nLaw Curb Inmate Use?…     ………  …1DADE

DadeCounty--people working together.The Metro-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Departmentwas no exception.Twenty-four hours after Hurri-cane Andrew hit,the Corrections Departmentorganized its relief effort.  \nAn aggressive public information campaignwas formulated to inform corrections employeesand the public about the relief effort.InmateCorrections Television continued to inform theinmate population about what was being done tohelp victims.Employee hotline numbers wereestablished to address the needs of the relief vic-tims.  \n(See HURRICANE,page two)  \n\"These people should not be allowed onthe streets to victimize citizens,but at the sametime,we can't afford to pay the bills,\"Dillonsaid.  \nBut Jerry Weber,legal director for theGeorgia chapter of the American Civil LibertiesUnion(ACLU),said it's absurd to think thatinmates are taking unfair advantage of freemedical care.  \n\"There's not a day that goes by that wedon't get a call from a prisoner complainingabout medical care,\"he said.\"I don't thinkthere are many jails in this state that provideadequate care.\"  \nIn Bibb County,a man arrested last yearon bad check charges came in with a leg injury,Officer Anthony Moran said.  \n\"He was in the hospital for two or threeweeks for skin grafts and tests,and refused tosign his own bond,\"Moran said.\"He wantedus to pay.\"  \nThe bill came to about $20,000.  \nSome officials are hoping a new law thatwent into effect July 1 will help curb medicalexpenses.It requires inmates to pay $5 everytime they request a visit to the doctor.  \nIn Clayton County,trips to the doctorwere reduced by half in July,said jailer StanleyTuggle.  \nThe phenomenon of inmates puttingincreased health-care demands on jail budgets isa by-product of the high cost of health care,some said.  \n\"It's a symptom of a larger problem,\"said Lori Everhart of the consumer advocategroup Citizen Action.One million Georgiansare uninsured and another million have inade-quate insurance,she said.  \nLast year,an Alabama man who had thevirus that causes AIDS admitted he stole avideoc","cbCaivYui7w3eEAr","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivYui7w3eEAr","pdf",2995823,11,"English","#
