I do not think the tax payer should be responsible for the cost of prescription drugs, for released inmates.

The Miami Herald reports that the *free* cards are already given to anyone who has no insurance, is uninsured or has high deductibles. I expect some of y'all ought to feel a mite silly. But perhaps you could line up and kick the inmates in the butts as they leave to satisfy your need for retribution. Another tempest in a teapot.

If not, then who? It says a partnership. Okay, define the partnership. Ease our concerns. If some charitable organization wants to give them cards for free everything, that's fine. If so, give us the dope (pardon the pun). @poly…

So that means that an elderly sex offender could get free prescriptions for Viagra, what has happened to this state and country?

No. We (the people) can't afford it. The state (us) owes them nothing. They have been in prison for a reason-to pay a debt based on a criminal conviction. They get out; they have a record; most won't be able to find gainful employment as a result-as if there were any jobs in FL anyway; many will revert to the lifestyle they led prior to the incarceration-check the recidivism rates. Hopefully, the DOC won't be releasing convicts that have mental health issues; nothing good would come from that. If these people want to turn it around and lead legitimate productive lives, they should be like the rest of us and carve one out for themselves. Don't do it on my (our) back. We have already taken care of them during their stay at the DOC-education, medical, dental, vision, creature comforts, etc. No, I'm sorry, I just can't buy into this liberal junk. The governor just signed in a bunch of budget cuts (including cutting DOC staff) and now this? No; just no. Governor, put a stop to his NOW! @Karyn…

Think of all those inmates that are released that have mental health issues and when they are released into the free world with out their medications it would be bad for others. Also those with other helth problems should be given this chance too try to do things right for a change and stop self medicating with other drugs. There are ways for people who need medications to get it for free or for cheap, you just have to find the right doctors who know places that will provide them for free. Go to the health department or a doctor based on your income. My mother lives in Alabama and she gets her medication based on her income. Everybody sins some just get caught, nobody is perfect and everyone deserves to be forgiven and start their life over, it would help if these people were given more counseling before being released though. Also, some people who are able to work and take care of themselves need to be doing more for themselves like going to school to get training for better jobs if there current job doesn't suit their needs and stop looking for a handout, so those who really need it can get the help.
