The prison healthcare giant spun off into YesCare and Tehum. Now, it could pay pennies on the dollar for medical malpractice and civil rights claims.

For now, Tehum’s bankruptcy is making its way through the federal court system. Attorneys for some of the company’s creditors are, urging the court to unwind the divisional merger and make YesCare’s money available to Corizon’s creditors. The $5,000 offer letters that Arther and Crawford’s client received were part of negotiations between Tehum and one of Corizon’s insurance companies, which covered only certain lawsuits in Arizona.

The people in Arizona who received the $5,000 offer, like Brandi Arther, say it’s not nearly enough. After her husband Jonathan’s scheduled release from prison in 2027, the couple’s lives will be forever changed by his inability to drive or do the kind of warehouse work he used to do without his peripheral vision.
