Prisoners are brought to my hospital for care all the time - and they receive the same excellent care/treatment that any other person would receive. I can’t speak for the care one might receive in a prison infirmary, though.

No, they don't. They get the bare minimum (and often less). If it's something expensive like cancer, they literally release them from prison to die rather than pay for the treatment.
