Some personal reflections on prison medical care

This is a personal account of medical practices and healthcare behind bars, which draws on direct experiences and narrations from fellow prisoners, accumulated during eleven years in custody. It touches on issues of the relationship of medical professionals with the torture of detenus, the anarchy of everyday prison medication, frailty and death among older inmates and the proposals and prospects for prison healthcare reform. It sees a need for systemic change, but the prognosis is not optimistic. Vernon Gonsalves writes.

Indeed. Like the barest minimum level of medical care

Thanks for publishing that and bringing attention to this (long-ignored) issue.

Worth noting that many incarcerated people are no more guilty of crimes than many not-incarcerated people
