Bridgeport Man Sues CT Department of Correction Over Delayed Cancer Treatment

Bridgeport resident Glenn London is suing the Connecticut Department of Correction (DOC), alleging medical neglect that led to the removal of his bladder, lymph nodes, and prostate after a delayed cancer diagnosis.

London, 61, was first incarcerated in January 2023. At intake, he reported prior symptoms of blood in his urine and a possible cancer diagnosis from the VA. Despite repeated requests, London says he received no meaningful medical care for months. When he was finally seen at UConn Health in August, doctors discovered a Stage 3A cancerous mass “the size of a golf ball” in his bladder.

London’s attorney, Ken Krayeske of BBB Attorneys, called the situation “unconscionable” and noted it followed years of documented DOC medical neglect, including the cancer cases of Wayne World, Billy Bennett, and Patsy Camara. “I want a judge to hear what the state put Glenn through,” Krayeske said.

Following 28 rounds of chemotherapy, London underwent major surgery after his release in early 2024. He now lives with a urology bag and limited mobility.

London is seeking $10 million in damages, but says his real goal is to prevent future inmates from experiencing the same delays in critical care. His story highlights ongoing concerns about medical treatment inside Connecticut prisons.

The Department of Correction has declined to comment on pending litigation.
