EXPERT WITNESS SPECIALTY INDEX

Correctional Medicine Expert Witnesses

Correctional facilities are vulnerable settings for spreading infection and incarcerated people have been disproportionately impacted by the novel coronavirus. Prisons across the country are now facing allegations of negligence for their handling of medical care for COVID-19 within inmate populations. As you prepare litigation related to COVID-19 within prisons, it will be essential to consult with a correctional medicine expert witness who may opine on the specific practices and challenges to incarcerated medical attention.

A correctional medicine expert witness can discuss:

  • Pandemic planning and contagion protocols within prisons
  • Quarantine practices for prison medical facilities
  • Vulnerabilities for spreading COVID-19 in a prison setting
  • Challenges related to supply shortages (ventilators, masks, gloves, gowns)
  • Changes to correctional care protocols brought on by COVID-19
  • Criteria for early releases of at-risk prisoners
  • Social distancing rules, PPE, and sanitation available to inmates
