Suit settled in case of Hudson man who died kicking heroin at Valley Street jail

Suit settled in case of Hudson man who died kicking heroin at Valley Street jail - NashuaTelegraph.com:

CONCORD – Kevin McEvoy, 24, died in the Valley Street jail in Manchester from dehydration after being denied medical treatment.
Forced by jail staff in 2008 to try to kick a heroin addiction cold turkey, the former Hudson man received no medical attention, lost 24 pounds in four days and in essence vomited himself to death, according to court documents and an attorney who represented his parents.

Note:There is so much to be said of the rotten medical care at Valley St. This is supposedly a holding cell for the accused, waiting to go to trial in most cases, where they are supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Then why are these people being treated worse than the ones serving time in Prison after being found guilty?
I know of a person who was sent to Valley St., who wasn't allowed prescribed medication, even though the medication was delivered, unopened, who also suffered withdrawls and was not treated, but thank God made it out of there alive.
Another person who signed medical releases after being arrested, accusedof a crime committed 5 months earlier, who was under medical care, but still not diagnosed with a life threatening illness, but was never told by Valley St. any of the information released. A person Judge Bamberger fought to keep in Valley St. another three week's, after spending two week's there already, sick. A person Judge Bamberger hated and tried to prove bail money was gotten illegally, by the family. If the person's Lawyer hadn't fought, this person also would have died at Valley St.
There is much to be told of the going's on at Valley St., which include the rotten medical care of the ACCUSED!
