Jepsen to Corrections: Give Auditors Report on Healthcare for Inmates.

Attorney General George Jepsen struck a blow for decency today.

Jepsen issued an opinion Tuesday that the auditors may see the report but its contents remained privileged.

Inmate healthcare at UConn Heath has been inadequate.
