UK Inmate Hurts Himself Trying to Escape, Sues Prison

Let’s hope this sort of thing isn’t headed our way:

Convicted robber Nathan Brooks, 31, broke bones in both feet when he jumped 30ft from the [prison] roof three years ago. He is now seeking compensation amid claims he did not receive sufficient treatment because he was moved from prison to prison.

Brooks, of Bracknell, Berkshire, was injured leaping from the roof of Usk prison in South Wales, in an attempt to escape. Prison staff found him collapsed on a road outside the jail and he needed surgical plates inserted into both heels. He was left with osteoarthritis and cannot walk unaided. He was treated for his injuries in hospital and later freed from Usk after serving his sentence.
