2020.04.02 - BlueMountain - Letter vFINAL

A letter from advocacy groups to BlueMountain Capital demanding that Corizon Health address substandard healthcare and implement a comprehensive COVID-19 response plan in correctional facilities to prevent exploitation and loss of life.

• The authors allege that Corizon Health has a history of prioritizing profit over patient care, resulting in substandard healthcare, understaffing of medical personnel, and the denial of critical care.
• The document cites a previous outbreak of Hepatitis C in Idaho prisons as evidence of the disastrous consequences of Corizon's cost-cutting measures, claiming the company refused treatment to hundreds of sick individuals.
• The authors demand that BlueMountain Capital force Corizon Health to adopt several emergency measures, including releasing a company-wide response plan, fully staffing facilities, waiving medical co-pays, providing COVID-19 testing, and establishing quarantine protocols that avoid solitary confinement.
• The letter argues that the prison healthcare industry is using the pandemic to renegotiate contracts for higher pay, citing Wexford Health Sources as an example of a company threatening to leave a contract unless pay was increased.
