Reta Mays
Former nursing assistant Reta Mays, now sentenced to spend the rest of her life in prison for killing at least eight patients at a VA hospital, may serve that time at the only comprehensive medical facility for female federal prisoners.
Mays, 46, has a request to be assigned to the Federal Medical Center, Carswell, which is a federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, for female inmates with special medical and mental health needs.
“That means that women from all security and custody levels with different medical and psychiatric conditions can be and are housed there.” said Gordon Zilberman, a San Diego-based forensic psychologist who evaluated offenders and provided mental health services for decades in prisons.
