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.
Guest columnist Richard Brunswick: Serial killer jailed; mass killer remains at large
Published: 4/16/2021 5:02:36 PM
In 1996 I was a doctor at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Leeds. A cluster of deaths on a medical ward at the V.A. occurred and eventually a nurse, Kristen Gilbert, was charged, tried and convicted in 2001 of intentionally murdering four patients and attempting to murder two others at the V.A. She is now serving four consecutive life terms without parole, plus 20 years in a federal penitentiary in Texas.
Ms. Gilbert is an example of a serial killer, defined generally as someone who commits three or more murders over a period of at least one month, and who does so for personal psychological reasons.
