Ralkina Jones was arrested in July after trying to run over husband and a friend in her car. While in custody she had been treated twice since in jail by the medical team in the jail. But only after her third day she was found dead, she had a heart problem and had a sudden heart attack. She appeared lethargic when she was first checked by the medical staff on the first day and her vitals signs were normal. When she was found dead, the medical examiners also found that she had received her same medications in jail. She also was trying to loose weight which was supposed to help her heart as well. This story is interesting to me because I did my isearch on health care in the prison system, prisoners are often not given the medical treatment that they are entitled to having. Its also interesting to me that this story has just surfaced when it happened in July.
