Description

Norman Calhoun brought this action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 against Kenneth Ramsey, the Sheriff of Kane County, and Correctional Medical Services, Inc. (CMS), a private company that contracted with the County to provide medical care to inmates incarcerated in the county jail, complaining about injuries he sustained at the jail. He claimed that his injuries resulted from the fact that the jails medical policy made no provision for advance verification of a detainees medications. This omission, he argued, amounted to deliberate indifference to his medical needs in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
