She was the monster that no one saw coming. That is how federal Judge Thomas Kleeh described Reta Mays as he sentenced her to life in prison in May 2021.
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.

Woman Who Murdered 7 Veterans In VA Hospital Gets Multiple Life Sentences
A former nursing assistant has been given multiple life sentences for the murder of seven elderly veterans after she admitted last year to intentionally using fatal injections of insulin to kill the men at a medical center for veterans in West Virginia.
Reta Mays, 46, received seven consecutive life sentences plus 20 years on Tuesday after she pleaded guilty in federal court in July to seven counts of second-degree murder and one count of assault with intent to commit murder.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Kleeh said that evidence showed she had conducted internet searches on female serial killers and watched the Netflix series Nurses Who Kill.
