Long as my husband has been locked up he will always calls or have someone reach out to me and let me know he’s okay I haven’t heard from my husband in 2 1/2 almost 3 weeks so you can only imagine how many sleepless nights I’ve been having all I want is to hear from him that he is okay. I lost my first cousin in the prison system do to him being ill and they wasn’t taking him serious, he died the day after Christmas of 2018 please all I want is my husband to let me know he’s okay that’s it just let him come home so he can get the proper treatment he needs!! I just want to be at ease.

This is a very strange way of saying "any crime warrants any punishment". The founding fathers put the 8th amendment in place for this very reason - to protect people who committed minor crimes from having to face ridiculous or inhumane consequences. Refusing medical treatment to inmates is not "serving them right", it's a reflection on how poorly run our justice system currently is. “Tough they are exposed in a closed environment but it goes back to the old trueism, “Don’t do the Crime if you Can’t do the Time”.”

Unreasonable -- for most, anyway. Most of the people are not sick enough to need hospitalization. If you tied up healthcare workers with those not really needing them, you would rob the ones who DO need them of the care THEY actually need. The ones who DO need it desperately need it. REGARDING:

CCI is a filthy broken down hole of a facility. It's an inhumane situation for both prisoner and guard alike. This is the greatest country in the world and our entire prison system is broken and desperately wanting. What is the best solution to solve this dilemma? I wish we knew. The problem is it's so overwhelming no one knows where to begin. Prayers for officer and inmate alike. We needs solutions not argument.

Just keep the correctional officers and non security staff in your prayers because we are putting our family at risk to possibly bring this horrible disease home to them.
