A federal lawsuit alleges the state Department of Corrections provides inadequate health care.

It says the state denies medical services to incarcerated people based on their pre-trial status.

It asks a judge to order the state to develop and implement a plan addressing the concerns.

At any one time, about 4,400 people are in corrections custody, including people detained before trials.
