inmate deaths

The family of Dexter Barry lists the Jacksonville sheriff as the defendant in a case that spotlighted care provided by the jail's former health care provider, which has since filed to sell its assets and debts.

The National Commission on Correctional Health Care warned the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office three months ago that the jail's medical care was deficient.

The Duval County jail will cut ties with Armor Correctional Health Services after a former inmate died. The new provider, NaphCare, also has raised questions.

Jacksonville leaders signed two contracts with Armor Correctional Health Services despite 570 lawsuits and inmate deaths across the country.
