Disabled Man In Riker's Was Put In Isolation Without Wheelchair Now In Camera Exhibits

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY COURTHOUSE, March 10 – Milan Heggs was a 40 year old paraplegic when he was taken to Riker's Island to await trial on May, 3, 2015.

He was attacked by another inmate - and then had his wheelchair taken away and was put in an isolation cell. After additional failures to accommodate his disability, he sued. 

On March 10, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger held a discovery proceeding. Inner City Press covered it. 

  Judge Lehrburger ordered the City to produce disciplinary records, both substantiated and unsubstantiated, for matters related to maltreatment, whether by commission or omission, for the years 2010 to the present.

 Some reports are to be e-mailed to Judge Lehrburger's chambers, for in camera review. These are matters of public concern.

The case is Heggs v. City of New York et al., 18-cv-9709 (Abrams / Lehrburger)
