7 Eastern Kentucky inmates filed a lawsuit claiming officers forced them to drink urine or be tased after failing drug tests.

7 inmates at an eastern Kentucky prison filed a federal lawsuit alleging officers forced them to drink their own urine or be tased after failing a drug test. The lawsuit claims four officers at Eastern Kentucky Correctional Complex gave the inmates the option to "throw away" their urine sample if they chose to be tased or drink the urine, but the inmates were "forced" to do so. The allegations led to an investigation, and some employees were fired and disciplined.
