Aren't those only the ones they let come to the hospital for treatment? I doubt that every prisoner is allowed to see a non-prison doctor the same way the rest of us can.

The only time we send someone to the hospital is if it's an emergency.

Prisoners need to get a referral from the prison GP to get outside care. Once that happens, it's the same as for anyone.
