# Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. *Private correctional-health contractor named as a defendant in a 2024 federal civil-rights action over a detainee's custody in the Dakota County jail.* Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc. is a private company named as a defendant in a federal civil-rights action filed in July 2024 in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota.[^1][^2] The action concerns a man held on probable cause in the [[Dakota County jail]] for roughly fifty hours, from July 4 to July 6, 2022.[^1][^2] The complaint alleges that during that custody the man was denied prescribed medication and was later hospitalized in intensive care.[^1] The sources in this record report the complaint's allegations. They do not report a ruling on them, and they do not state the action's docket number or current status.[^1][^2] The project's at-issue record pairs the action with a March 2026 presidential action establishing a federal task force on fraud.[^3] The record does not show that the order names this company or this jail.[^3] ## Who - The defendants named in the action are Dakota County, ten county employees, Advanced Correctional Healthcare, Inc., and three of the company's employees.[^1][^2] - Coverage of the filing appeared in the [[Star Tribune]], and the filing was also summarized by the law firm Storms Dworak LLC.[^1][^2] ## What - The complaint alleges that the man was denied his prescribed insulin and gabapentin.[^1] - It further alleges that he was left in a padded cell "rolling in his own feces, blood, urine, and vomit."[^1] - These are allegations in a filed complaint, not adjudicated findings.[^2] ## When - The custody period described in the complaint ran from July 4 to July 6, 2022.[^2] - The complaint was filed in July 2024, about two years after that custody.[^1][^2] ## Where - The detention took place in the Dakota County jail in [[Minnesota]].[^1] - The Minnesota Department of Corrections inspected the jail in July 2023[^4] and again in June 2025.[^5] This record does not report what those inspections found about medical care. ## How - The complaint alleges that the man was hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis and a coma.[^1] - It alleges that his condition required intubation and two weeks of intensive care.[^1][^2] ## How many - The action names 15 defendants: one county, ten county employees, one company, and three of the company's employees.[^1][^2] - The custody it describes lasted approximately fifty hours.[^2] ## In the at-issue record - **AI-Dakota-034** (Dakota package) is filed in the project's section *II. The Use-of-Force Ledger* under the year 2022, and it rests on two sources: a filing summary and a news report.[^1][^2] - The entry is anchored to the White House presidential action of March 2026 that established a task force to eliminate fraud.[^3] - The project states its own rationale for that pairing. In its view, contracted-out custodial medicine is an outsourcing pattern that federal oversight is designed to reach. That is the project's framing, not a statement in the order.[^3] - The pairing records no finding against the company.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Star Tribune, *Lawsuit: man in crisis left unresponsive, covered in blood and feces in Dakota County jail* (date not in record) — reports the July 2024 federal complaint, its defendants, and its allegations of denied medication, padded-cell confinement and hospitalization. https://www.startribune.com/lawsuit-man-in-crisis-left-unresponsive-covered-in-blood-and-feces-in-dakota-county-jail/600381734 [^2]: Storms Dworak LLC, *Lawsuit filed against jail, Advanced Correctional Healthcare* (filing summary; date not in record) — describes the federal civil-rights action in D.
