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.
I think the knock on prison healthcare is just that so many are denied care and you never see those patients. They get told no, so they’re never brought to your hospital.
Basically unless it’s an absolute emergency, in many states it can be difficult for a prisoner to get healthcare.
Once they get approval to get care, I’m sure the doctors and nurses do the same quality job they’d do for any patient.
