Four Department of Correction employees and two employees of UConn's Correctional Managed Health Care have are on administrative leave "following significant concern over their actions with regard to an offender's medical needs," according to the DOC.
The DOC did not elaborate on the situation or explain what those medical needs entail but said the inmate is now receiving treatment at an outside medical facility.
"The Department of Correction's Security Division is in the early stages of an active investigation," said Karen Martucci, acting director of external affairs for the DOC.
The employees on leave have not been publicly identified. It's not clear where the alleged incident took place.
