Prisoners and former guards file radon exposure lawsuit against prison

Prisoners and former guards file radon exposure lawsuit against prison

Oct 16, 2018 |

“Guards and inmates at a Connecticut prison find themselves on the same side of a legal fight against the state, which they say did not do enough to prevent their exposure to radon.

A federal judge last month ruled against the state’s attempt to dismiss a lawsuit by 13 inmates inside the Garner Correctional Institution in Newtown. They allege that Connecticut Correction Department officials exposed them to high levels of the radioactive gas, creating unconstitutional and inhumane conditions of confinement inside the maximum-security prison.

A separate lawsuit was filed in state court in August by 16 former guards and staff members, several of whom suffer from respiratory ailments. It asserts the staff should have been informed of the radon problem.”

If detected early enough and dealt with properly, radon exposure can be mitigated and reduce the risk of serious ailments. People who smoke are even more susceptible to developing lung cancer when exposed to radon. Early detection of radon gas is extremely important in preventing any long-term health effects.
