All inmates have access to medical. If they are indigent and cannot pay the $5 copay, then the copay is waived. And after 25 years of working for that outfit, (14 of which I was in the administration), I can assure you that the FDC is doing the absolute best it can to keep the inmates healthy, because the last thing they want is an outbreak.

But I will say yes inmates pay a co-pay for their medical. I only wish my co-pay was just $5. El'Bey-Advocate for the incarcerated, As for COs or Staff bringing in the virus to the inmates I'm pretty sure they try not to touch them (that is why visitation has been cancelled, because that can't be said about visitors)!

If you re-read my comment it says "if we on the outside are having such a hard time getting tested I imagine it would be harder for them". Some people are upset that inmates get free medical and dental care because they are locked up. It's not free. They pay a copay to see a doctor just like we do and it comes from money that their family sends them. If they dont receive money they dont pay..just like out here. We need to meet certain qualifications to be tested out here and they do also. I would like to see the statistics of how many employees were tested at facilities where they have had a positive covig19 case versus inmate testing at the same facility. That would be interesting but we will never see that report. Inmates are not insignificant because they are locked up. Many have turned their lives around and are better people than when they were first locked up. Most have family that love them. They didnt take the covig19 into the facilities and they locked the prisons down so only one place for them to get it from. @DW…I never said anything about ON DEMAND TESTING.

Nobody said the inmates don’t deserve to be tested, but you. Sometimes our attitudes bring on the bad responses from others. I’m sure if one of them start showing signs, they to will get tested, as well. @Loved One

There isn't a lot of pity, though, because we figure most of them have preyed on others or we wouldn't bother to incarcerate them. The fact that you accuse US says much. I've had neighbors who had to work HARD to finally get sent to prison. We DO, however, want them healthy because treating them is expensive and they endanger the lives of others if infected. We also know most have not been convicted of anything considered worthy of the death penalty. David for better people and health to all regardless REGARDING:

Florida's correctional facilities have medical personnel on the grounds 24 hours a day, available literally IN MINUTES to assess every medical emergency possible. Any inmate with fever and shortness-of-breath will be seen by an RN sooner than you or I could drive to the closest ER . . . to wait in line. You "imagine" wrong!

One thing doesnt have to do with the other. Its sad that even in this time there still isn't any compasion for others. Yes, I have family in prison, and yes I will always support him. Far as the medical care, no they do not receive better medical care than those on the outside, and I know this for a fact. I will say it again, it does not matter that they are incarcerated, they are still human beings and they have family that loves them. Its the CO's that have brought the Covid-19 in the prison, not those already there. Check the ego please! It doesnt matter if they are in prison or not, they are still human beings.
