CORRECTIONAL CARE , THE PRIVATE
CONTRACTOR IN CHARGE OF INMATES
HEALTH AT THE JAIL SAID THERE'S
NOTHING MORE THEY COULD HAVE
DONE TO PREVENT ABBY'S DEATH.
THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS
DEATH INVESTIGATION FOUND JAIL
STAFF WERE VERY COMPASSIONATE
AND TREATED MISS RUDOLPH VERY
PROFESSIONALLY. TO HEAR
THE OFFICIAL VERSION, IT WAS
JUST A TRAGIC BUT ON PREVENTABLE
DEATH. BUT WAS IT ABBY HERSELF
LEFT CLUES. DON'T LEAVE ME OUT.

ALONE. LOCKED ROOM WITH PUCA
OVER WOMEON GEARSTICK. TAKE
CARE OF YOUR BABY GIRL. LOVE HER
TOO.

VIDEO ALONG WITH COURT JAIL
AND MEDICAL RECORDS THAT TELL AN
AGONIZING TALE. AS THE TEEN GIRL

LOSING MORE THAN 17 POUNDS
IN THOSE FOUR DAYS WHILE
PROVIDED NO MEDICINE OR DOCTOR'S
CARE IS GUT
>> WRENCHING FOR ME. FACTS
>> THAT HAUNT THOSE WHO LOVED
HER. ABBY'S FAMILY SAYS SHE
BROKE HER HIP HIGH SCHOOL
AND BECAME HOOKED ON PAIN
MEDICATION, THEN HEROIN. ON
OCTOBER 30, FIRST A DAY AFTER
BEING BOOKED. OTHER INMATES
PASSED THIS NOTE TO A GUARD
WARNING ABBY WAS WITHDRAWING
FROM HEROIN AND ALL OF US IN THE
FEMALE BLOCK FEELS SHE NEEDS
TO BE MONITORED FOR HER OWN
SAFETY. ON NOVEMBER 1ST, SHE WAS
DRUG TESTED, FOUND TO HAVE
A POTENT COCKTAIL OF NARCOTICS
IN HER SYSTEM. THE NATIONAL
COMMISSION ON CORRECTIONAL
HEALTH CARE'S OPIOID
DETOXIFICATION GUIDELINES WARN
ACUTE OPIOID WITHDRAWAL IS
COMMON UPON ENTRY INTO
CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES
CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES AND UNTREATED MAY RESULT
IN NEEDLESS SUFFERING
INTERRUPTION OF LIFE SUSTAINING
MEDICAL TREATMENTS AND RARELY
DEATH AND WITHDRAWAL SHOULD BE
TREATED WITH EFFECTIVE
MEDICATION
MEDICATION >>. TREATMENT CAN PREVENT THESE
DEATHS. DR. KEVIN FISCELL IS AN
ADDICTION SPECIALIST WHO IS ON
THE BOARD OF THE NATIONAL
COMMISSION. ARE WITHDRAWAL
DEATHS IN JAIL? NEEDLESS
>> BY AND LARGE, YES, WE HAVE
APPROPRIATE PROTOCOLS IN PLACE.
THESE DEATHS SHOULD BE BASICALLY
NON-EXISTENT BECAUSE SHE WAS
VOMITING ALL OVER HERSELF ON
NOVEMBER 1ST. ABBY WAS PUT ON
A MEDICAL WATCH, MOVED TO A
HIGH RISK CELL WITH 24 HOUR
VIDEO MONITORING. GUARDS WERE
REQUIRED TO CHECK ON HER EVERY
15 MINUTES AND RECORD HER
CONDITION ON THESE SECLUSION
SHEETS WHICH EVEN STAY. SHE'S
DETOXING FROM HEROIN. WHILE
THE VIDEO SHOWS ABBY SPENDS
THE NEXT FORTY TWO HOURS
VOMITING OVER AND OVER AND OVER.
SOILING HERSELF WITH DIARRHEA
AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE 15 MINUTE
CHECK NOTES BY THE GUARDS
CONSISTENTLY LIST HER CONDITION
AS OKAY EXAMPLE NOVEMBER 1ST,
758 P.M. VIDEO SHOWS ABBY GET
SICK BUT TWO MINUTES LATER AT
EIGHT O'CLOCK A GUARD MARKS HER.
OKAY, AN HOUR LATER EIGHT FIFTY
EIGHT AND EIGHT FIFTY NINE .
VIDEOS SHOWS HER VOMITING BUT AT
NINE P.M. ON THE SHEET SHE'S
MARKED OK ONLY ONCE AT 2:00 AM
ON NOVEMBER 3RD. DOES A GUARD
HINT AT HOW SICK SHE IS
WRITING GAVE WATER NEW VOMIT
BAG.
BAG.
BAG. >>
BAG. >> THE FAILURES REALLY CAME FROM
THE FACT THAT EVEN THOUGH THESE
SYMPTOMS WERE BEING OBSERVED,
THEY WEREN'T BEING DOCUMENTED
>>. COLLIN PETERSON IS AN
ATTORNEY REPRESENTING ABBY'S
FAMILY IN A FEDERAL LAWSUIT
THAT CLAIMS SHE WAS DENIED HER
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO RECEIVE
ADEQUATE MEDICAL CARE . SHE JUST
>> BECAME PROGRESSIVELY SICKER,
SICKER AND SICKER AND NOBODY DID
ANYTHING ABOUT
ANYTHING ABOUT >> IT. THE MEN JAIL NURSE WOULD
LATER CLAIM IN COURT DEPOSITIONS
SHE HAD NO IDEA ABBY WAS
VOMITING CONTINUOUSLY BECAUSE
JAIL GUARDS DID NOT NOTICE.
NEVER WRITING IT DOWN ON
THE SECLUSION SHEETS
>>. MEDICAL NOTES DO SHOW
THE NURSE SAW ABBY ON NOVEMBER
2ND AND SHE REPORTED BEING SICK
TO STOMACH. THE NURSE WROTE SHE
WAS ENCOURAGED TO USE TOILET
IN CELL INSTEAD OF BEING
INCONTINENT ON FLOOR INMATE
STATUS. SHE DID NOT REALIZE WHAT
SHE WAS DOING DESPITE BEING SO
SICK. SHE WAS GOING TO THE
BATHROOM ON HER CELL FLOOR
AND DIDN'T EVEN KNOW NO DOCTOR
WAS CONSULTED. NO MEDICAID SHIN
WAS PROVIDED. THE NEXT DAY,
NOVEMBER 3RD, ABBY COLLAPSED
IN THE SHOWER AND DIED IN AN
AMBULANCE IN THE JAIL PARKING
LOT. HER FAMILY IMMEDIATELY
QUESTIONED WHY SHE DIDN'T
RECEIVE MEDICAL TREATMENT
>> WHILE WORKING TO HELP KORBA
CAREER. WELL , THEY DID. THEY
CALLED HER RIGHT AWAY. MEEGER
RECRUIT HER FROM DIFFERENT
COURIERING. MY WORK ON COME ON
CALL. I WAS THERE THE OTHER DAY
AND SHE WAS SICK OF BEING
>> GIVEN NO ANSWERS. THEY FILED
THE LAWSUIT WHICH UNCOVERED
SOMETHING KEY. REMEMBER ABBY'S
AUTOPSY JUST LISTED BRONCHO
PNEUMONIA. BUT WHEN THE CDC WAS
LATER CONSULTED AND DID THIS
PATHOLOGY REPORT, TWO NEW WORDS
WERE ADDED ACUTE BRONCHO
PNEUMONIA WITH ASPIRATION NOT
MEAN SOMEBODY HAS VOMITING
AND AS THEY'RE VOMITING
AND COUGHING. THE NAVONA GOES
DOWN THEIR WINDPIPE, GETS INTO
THEIR LUNGS. MEN CORRECTIONAL
CARE QUIETLY REACHED A SECRET
SETTLEMENT WITH THE RUDOLPH
FAMILY. THE WRONGFUL DEATH
LAWSUIT AGAINST CLARK COUNTY IS
ONGOING.
ONGOING.
ONGOING. >> NO ONE DESERVES TO DIE LIKE
THAT . FOR KARE11 INVESTIGATES.
I'M A.J.
