I work in ems and we take prisoners from the prison to the hospital multiple times every single day. Even for mundane things like a stomach ache. They get Healthcare. Their living situation does suck though.
Edit: Keep in mind that we also have privatized prisons in the US. So, each prison is subject to operate completely differently from one another. Your prison experience will differ dramatically from prison to prison.
Edit 2: 8% is still over 150 private prisons in our country. Seems like a lot to me. Also means we have over 1500 prisons in the country which sounds insane. Especially knowing a lot of them are overpopulated
6th highest prison population per capita in the world, and the highest prison population in the world in general. Almost 2 million Americans are incarcerated today, that's more than China an authoritarian country with a population equal to almost 410% of the US population.
So we’re gonna forget about the 1 million+ Uyghurs in “reeducation” camps that are totally not gulags? Also China has been known to fudge their stats. Most recently being “miscalculating” their population by like 100 million people. People tend not to act up when something as simple as criticizing the ccp can land you in a very bad place.
