This is prison not jail health care. If you make a mistake you go to jail. If you make multiple mistakes and continue to make them you usually go to prison. So I don't feel sorry about these people who keep leaching and victimizing societies good hard working law abiding citizens. If health care was an issue for the poor poor convicts they should have though about their health before making these " mistakes ". If it's life threatening a surgery should be done. If it's something that can wait till these convicts are released then so be it. Let them pay for it. Or better yet in between making another mistake to put them back in prison schedule an appointment for a surgery. Will it happen? Probably not. @ mother of an inmate and Greg.

Now that would be the honorable thing to do is take care of your own and not expect others to do it for you.

To me, that's ripping off the taxpayers because since the money has been spend, no one is doing anything great by denying hernia surgery for these inmates. In fact, they can't be as productive working behind the fence if they are in pain and poor health. Also, if a person who is incarcerated becomes sick, why deny them health care? That's inhuman. They are incarcerated for punishment, not denied health care for punishment. Also, the idea of it only being for life threatening issues? Please! What if a diabetic develops retinopathy. That person will go blind without the surgery - then he or she will be a drain on society for the rest of their lives by drawing disability. Use some common sense when thinking about this. Are they nice people? Probably not. Are they humans? Absolutely. First, the point has been missed by a few here, and that is that this care has ALREADY BEEN PAID FOR, and they are not getting it.
