Scott County Settles for $12.2M After Inmate's Double Amputation

Scott County in Minnesota has agreed to pay a $12.2 million settlement to a former inmate, Terrance Windborn, who alleged mistreatment by jail officials led to the amputation of both his arms. The lawsuit claimed that a registered nurse employed at the Scott County Jail showed "deliberate indifference" to Windborn's deteriorating condition, resulting in serious medical issues including septic shock and gangrene. The lawsuit also alleged that video evidence of Windborn's incarceration was destroyed and that the written medical records were vague and contradictory. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, aims to provide Windborn with the necessary medical care and quality of life assistance.
