A former New Jersey corrections officer, Nadine Menendez, is set to turn herself in to authorities this Friday, despite being in the midst of breast cancer treatment. Menendez, who was convicted of embezzling over $100,000 from the state's Department of Corrections, will be surrendering to serve her prison sentence. The move has sparked concerns from advocates who argue that her health should be prioritized over her incarceration. As Menendez prepares to begin her prison term, questions are being raised about the impact of her cancer diagnosis on her ability to serve her sentence and access necessary medical care.
