Dude Gets $750,000 Settlement From Jail For Refusing To Treat His 6 Day Long Erection And Breaking His Dick
The Grio – A former inmate has reportedly won a $750,000 settlement against correction officers and doctors for negligence after they allegedly allowed a six-day erection to go untreated.
“They took my manhood!” said Rodney Cotton. “It’s embarrassing. We’re here to create. I can’t perform my duties as a man.”
Cotton received the settlement money from Manhattan Detention Center,
Cotton had been prescribed an anti-psychotic drug, Risperdal, for bipolar disorder, but the erection was an adverse side effect and has left him with “permanent injuries” to his penis and “loss of function.”
“If I had the choice between the reward and having my manhood restored, I’d have my manhood restored in a heartbeat,” said Cotton, who had originally sued for $10 million.
While Cotton, 50, was in prison, he complained to the corrections officers and doctors of “difficulty walking” and of other pain due to his condition, but he was told that his case was not an emergency and was given an ice pack and some Tylenol and told to wait it out.
“I had to wear briefs or boxers. I couldn’t wear jeans,” Cotton said. “They had me walking around like that for almost a week.”

I can’t find the blog but I’m pretty sure somebody covered this guy when he first filed his lawsuit – well, the ruling is in, and it’s…750K? Seriously? That’s it? Not even a million dollars to have a broken dick for the rest of your life? Brutal. I know I always say that my dream is for something bad to happen to me so that I can cash in on it, but I was thinking more along the lines of a broken leg from getting hit by a cab, maybe a separated shoulder from getting brushed by a city bus. Not losing the use of my dick forever for an untended erection. I mean listen to the guy. They took his manhood. It’s embarrassing. He’s here to create. He can’t perform his duties as a man. He’s heartbroken. Money can’t fix that man.
“If I had the choice between the reward and having my manhood restored, I’d have my manhood restored in a heartbeat,” said Cotton
And if it can, it’s at least 7 figures IMO.
PS – Don’t feel too bad for this dude.
Cotton, who has been incarcerated for 39 of his 50 years, including a prison stint for a 1989 manslaughter case in Brownsville.
