Inmate’s Medical Crisis at Coxsackie | Buffalo News

Inmate Justus Holmes at Coxsackie Correctional Facility is fighting for urgent medical care after enduring debilitating gastrointestinal symptoms for over a year — including two near-fainting episodes — with only one doctor visit in months. Despite completing tests like X-rays and bodily samples, he’s still waiting on critical blood work while managing pain with minimal food. A recent laxative made his condition worse, and fears of sepsis grew after hearing another inmate’s diagnosis. Staffing shortages are cited as the root cause, delaying care and risking emergencies. Officials say they’re reviewing protocols to improve standards and will transport inmates to outside hospitals when needed.
