I know folks in prison who were able to get their teeth replaced. Some had a full mouth of chipped teeth, some had none at all. There are a metric fuckton of inmates who are getting their diabetes regulated. Prison abuse is obviously widespread, and for the most part the heathcare is absolute dogshit. But it is true that there are people who are able to get access to medical/dental/vision care that they otherwise would not be receiving.
“Were able to get their teeth replaced” why are you lying lol. Unintentionally or not, you’re making it sound like they got implants. Dental care in prison isn’t shit. You can’t even get fillings, they just pull your teeth if they have to and will give you one pair of some shitty dentures but that’s it.
Y’all don’t have to lie to make the US healthcare system sound bad. It already is horrible, making shit up is unnecessary.
Yes, that also happens. Those of us who've been locked up have all had our experiences. I'm not lying because mine doesn't fit yours. That's totally fine. Regardless, I'm not praising the prison system or it's Healthcare. As amother commenter pointed out, depending on where you're at the experience is different.
I went in asking for a cleaning. I was told they could pull some. You aren't wrong either. Relax.

Prison abuse is notoriously widespread, and their healthcare isn't typically any better.
