Jerome Riddick was sent to prison for selling drugs in 2008. However, the nonviolent offender quickly found himself in solitary confinement for continually misbehaving. Riddick traces his acting out to mental health issues. And he says prison officials won’t offer treatment for his condition.
A team of pro bono attorneys from Day Pitney recently helped Riddick get out of solitary confinement and get treatment for his mental health issues, as part of a settlement to a lawsuit filed on his behalf against state corrections officials.
