http://www.wrongfuldeathinstitute.com DEATH, NEGLECT & THE BOTTOM LINE ....PRISON MEDICAL SERVICES, A LICENSE TO MURDER Correctional Medical Care....what you see is not what you get. Some of the industry's leaders are putting inmate health care in the hands of doctors who have been disciplined by state medical licensing boards or even committed crimes themselves. In some cases disciplined doctors who aren't allowed to practice on the general public are permitted to do so behind bars---even if they have lost their Drug Enforcement Administration License for prescribing controlled substances. That means they can't prescribe something as simple as Tylenol 3 for a toothache. To find out more on prison medical services....visit The Wrongful Death Institute's website.

There is an article in the February 2002 issue of Glamour magaize that talks about medical care for women in prison. Is was well written and encourages people to contact state reps and senators to do something about it.
