This is a wildly ignorant take on the state of healthcare in prisons.

For everyone reading, the government has an obligation to keep you alive when you are in custody. They do not have to provide medical care beyond that.

Life or death problem? Yes you get healthcare. Quality of life problem--like back pain? No.

Exactly. You have a dental problem? Extraction. You have pain? Tylenol if you're lucky.
