Harvey Weinstein has raised serious concerns regarding the inadequate medical care provided to him at the New York prison, Rikers Island. Weinstein’s alarming statements indicate that he feels his health is at significant risk due to the lack of proper treatment for his existing medical conditions, which he believes are being exacerbated by the prison environment.

The former film executive has filed a formal complaint with the Office of the NYC Comptroller, detailing his grievances about the harsh conditions at Rikers Island. In his claim, Weinstein highlights how the deplorable state of the prison is negatively impacting his numerous health issues, which require careful management and treatment.

According to the legal documents obtained by TMZ, Weinstein asserts that his health has deteriorated alarmingly during his time at Rikers Island. He attributes this decline to the prison’s inability to provide adequate medical care and support, which he believes is a violation of his rights as an inmate.

Weinstein has outlined numerous serious health conditions, including leukemia, diabetes, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, obesity, high blood pressure, and others. He claims that the level of medical care he receives is insufficient and does not meet the necessary standards for someone with such complex health issues.

Weinstein reports experiencing ongoing physical and psychological injuries, significant emotional distress, and a profound loss of enjoyment in life. He seeks compensation, demanding at least $5 million in damages to address the suffering he attributes to the prison’s conditions.

In a statement to TMZ, Weinstein’s attorney Imran H. Ansari expressed deep concern over the treatment that Weinstein has endured while incarcerated. Ansari described his visit to Weinstein, where he observed disturbing conditions, including blood stains on Weinstein’s prison attire, which appeared to be from IV treatments. Ansari noted that Weinstein had not been provided with clean clothing for weeks and lacked basic hygiene necessities, such as clean underwear, which is particularly concerning given his serious health vulnerabilities.

Ansari further emphasized the stark contrast between the standards expected in correctional facilities and what he witnessed at Rikers Island. He questioned whether the prison operates under constitutional guidelines or if it resembles a gulag, where inmates are subjected to inhumane treatment and neglect.
