This episode goes back to a good old format. And again we face the consequences that a quasi nonexistence of medical treatment in prisons can have.
When a woman is found dead lying on a metro platform, it is difficult at first only to identify her. Her ex husband is truly shocked and expects the justice to be served. The suspect, suffering from a mental disease, is arrested and convicted from a manslaughter. But would this tragedy have happened, should he have got a proper treatment in Rikers island he had just left? The new company that runs the medical ward is trying to cut the costs by not sending the detainees to hospitals, by not getting them a right diagnosis as long as a mere medication keeps them calm. The CEO of the company is convicted of a criminally negligent homicide, but what about the other prisoners that get no treatment and are sent back when they do their time? One time or another their medication stops working and ....moreless
AIRED:
After a woman's body is found in a subway station, a suspect is arrested, but the resulting case concerns the lack of medication supplied him while in prison.

ALLUSIONS (2)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Kendra Webdale case. Andrew Goldstein, who had been suffering from poor mental health, had pushed the young woman in front of a train. Her death lead to the passing of Kendra's Law, which gave the courts the right to force medical treatment on a patient, but this law has been highly challenged.
-
Lennie Briscoe: Is that your final answer?
The suspect introduced himself as Regis Philbin, so Lennie responded with Regis's catchphrase from the show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
