Ms. Kendra Sams, 29 years old, was being lodged at the Laurel County Corrections.
According to Facebook posts she suffered a seizure on July 12th which caused her to fall from the top bunk in her cell and land on the floor. She was not given medical attention at that time.
At some point she was transferred to Casey County Corrections where her illness became acute. Her Mother was apparently contacted and she was then transported to the Hospital.

The family knows she is not perfect but to see this after being in 2 jails and her mother was called to come get her only to go into uk hospital is sad this is Kendra Sams if anyone was in her cell with her in laurel or Casey county please get ahold of this family ... We are looking for answers to what happened .. This is truly sad ... We have tried to contact all media but no help as yet so family has no choice but turn to social media .. Any information is appreciated ...please share

It is currently 8/20/15 at 10:30pm and I am awaiting a call from Roger Hoskins who is willing to fill in the gaps in this atrocity which has happened under the watch of "Kentucky Corrections ".
We can only hope and pray that Kendra Sams receives the justice that the State of Kentucky owes her because of this horrific ordeal. She is not out of ICU yet. She is currently still fighting for her life.
It never should have happened.
ANYONE who is incarcerated is entitled to receive healthcare under the Justice Department.
