Family Of Woman Who Died In Oklahoma Co. Jail Suing Facility, Health Care Provider

The family of a woman who died at the Oklahoma County Jail in 2021 is suing the facility and the facility's healthcare provider, Turn Key.

Lawyers for Christa Sullivan said both entities provided inadequate healthcare to Sullivan, who they said suffered from severe mental illness and attempted suicide several times before dying in custody more than two years ago.

The federal lawsuit filed last month also claims Turn Key is liable, due to what Sullivan's family calls systemic failure of its policies and procedures.
