He probably would have gotten more with the right lawyer. I’m sure it was just some court appointed lawyer taking the case pro boner.
A former inmate’s untreated six-day erection while locked up in The Tombs has climaxed in a $750,000 settlement from the city.
Rodney Cotton, 50, reached the six-figure deal on the eve of going to trial.
He claims he suffered “permanent injuries to his penis” and “loss of function” due to the negligence of doctors at the Manhattan Detention Center and correction officers who ignored his pleas for help.
“They took my manhood!” Cotton of Brooklyn told the Daily News on Monday. “It’s embarrassing. We’re here to create. I can’t perform my duties as a man.”
Nicholas Paolucci, a spokesman for the city Law Department, confirmed a settlement had been reached.
“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 has been incarcerated for 39 of his 50 years, including a prison stint for a 1989 manslaughter case in Brownsville.

One of your duties as a man is to not be in jail for 4/5ths of your life. And at the age of 50, your days of “creating” should be over unless you can pay for it. We don’t need need anymore Rodney Cottons springing forth from some other parasitic hoodrat’s loins.
750k and habitual criminal. I give it 6 months for him to be broke or dead. Hopefully the latter. We’ve spent enough on this POS.
” Charlieeee!!! They took my thumb!!! “
“They took my manhood.” Damn let’s hope so. One less crook to breed more crooks.
Heck………he coulda been golfing with obangay all weekend!!!!
“A former inmate’s untreated six-day erection while locked up in The Tombs”
what were they supposed to do for him? get him a hooker? and just why couldn’t he wack himself off?
Now take that money and pay back the agencies who’ve been funding the lil niglets he’s never supported.
I bet the judge found this guys story hard to swallow.
He did hard time in the pokey and got paid for it?
Incarcerated for 39 of his 50 years. Now that’s what I call a life worth living……not.
“the tombs” must be a really sexy place…how much opportunity has he had to “create” in those 39 of 50 years in jail?
That is positively the last time we serve Viagra Stew at the prison.
BFH: Pro boner . . .you crack me up.
I bet he was the Hit of Cell Block B “downlow boyz” with a six day boner.
I can imagine his cellie hunched in the corner, all nervous and wide-eyed. “Keep that thang over there! I ain’t like that!”
@MadJack: You stole my thunder!
“They took my manhood!” Cotton of Brooklyn told….
Good! You can no longer breed welfare babies!
That really doesn’t cure the problem.
If I were to tell you how they actually treat ischemic priapism, it would give every guy that reads this the shivering willies (NPI). Look it up if you wish, though.
(Hint: it involves penile aspiration)
: )
Ya just can’t make this stuff up.
They could have paraded Mooch or Hill in front of him and that thing would have deflated just out of shear self preservation
Dem ministahs sho do breed !
Perhaps if he had johhny cockring as his attorney , den he would have really got paid !
At our expense of course 🙁
@Vietvet
Penile aspiration?
I know a few bull dykes who suffer from that … but what’s the connection between that and curing a six day boner?
Interestingly enough, there’s no mention as to why a 50-year old man would have a six day boner, which is basically beyond the realm of human fucking possibility
I’m guessing the dumb bastard took about five tabs of Viagra just before he got arrested
Perhaps he was about to get pinched for selling Viagra without a license and thought he should swallow the evidence
I knew it! I knew as soon as I keyed it in, that some character would make a comment like that. I try to be serious JUST ONCE…
Here, have an upvote for not disappointing me, fellow humorist.

Could have been that, or (and here
I go being serious again) a number of medical problems, including sickle-cell disease and sickle-cell trait.
So…
Yeah, he wasn’t doing hard time, he was doing time hard!
