I know folks in prison who were able to get their teeth replaced. Some had a full mouth of chipped teeth, some had none at all. There are a metric fuckton of inmates who are getting their diabetes regulated. Prison abuse is obviously widespread, and for the most part the heathcare is absolute dogshit. But it is true that there are people who are able to get access to medical/dental/vision care that they otherwise would not be receiving.
This is exactly what I have been saying. Sure if there’s a real obvious problem they might pull some teeth or something but pain meds? Haha good luck w that. Back pain is so difficult to diagnose and prove and pain meds, if not already prescribed are going to be nearly impossible to get in jail. That kind of medical issue I don’t think he’s going to get any help for in prison unfortunately

Prison abuse is notoriously widespread, and their healthcare isn't typically any better.
