Both corrections officers and inmates at the Sing Sing State Prison are alarmed about two confirmed cases of Meningitis. One inmate died from the infection on Tuesday. Another is being treated at Saint Agnes Medical Hospital. Corrections officials said there are over a half dozen other inmates and officers with symptoms of the deadly illness. Doctors from the state health department were sent to the prison to assess the situation and prevent an outbreak in the prison population. Bacterial Meningitis is an infection that attacks the lining of the brain. There is a vaccine available that will be administered to any infected individuals. |
