Eight prison inmates suffering from AIDS have sued the Westchester County, N.Y., Medical Center, seeking to force the hospital to give inmates better care. The Sing Sing prison inmates also named the state Department of Health and Department of Corrections. A pretrial conference set for Monday was adjourned until Sept. 10. The suit, filed in June, alleges that the medical center is denying some inmates access to treatment. The suit began after an inmate, who later died in prison, was allegedly denied access to the hospital.
