Inmate’s Widow Sues Over Deadly Prison Negligence | Lexington News

A widow files a devastating lawsuit after her husband, Robert Anthony Broyles Jr., died in his cell at the Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex — just nine days before release — alleging prison staff ignored his repeated pleas for safety from a violent cellmate who’s now charged with murder. The suit accuses officials of negligence, failure to enforce safety policies, and flawed inmate classification that allowed dangerous inmates to be housed with nonviolent offenders. It also claims officers had chances to intervene but failed to act — all while seeking damages for constitutional rights violations and state-law negligence. No response has been filed yet.
