ANYbody should be able to receive aid if it’s available(medical help). Especially when it comes to life. When you write prisoners, are you talking about lifers or just anybody in jail? Jail is a punishment and not a death sentence………..

Here's some information I found in the Federal Register:
The fee to cover the average cost of incarceration for Federal inmates in Fiscal Year 2010 was $28,284. The average annual cost to confine an inmate in a Community Corrections Center for Fiscal Year 2010 was $25,838.
As far as expensive medical procedures, I first have to ask, "Is there any other KIND?"
That said, I think it would be a viable option to have the prison populations be patients of residents. The time should be voluntary, or the medical professional could receive "pay" by way of excusing some portion of student loans, certainly not the full cost of what the procedure would cost, but something that makes it worthwhile for the resident and the taxpayer at the same time.
Should they receive expensive therapies and treatments? It should be offered, but not mandatory. Too bad it's not so easy for the rest of us to get expensive medical therapies.

Yes in most cases, it depends on what their crime was. Some don't deserve to live.

In Australia, prisoners get better medical than most pensioners, also have three regular meals a day, i'm afraid i do not agree with a lot of the answers, they are in a so called prison, not a hotel and should be treated as such. (:

not untill people out here with no health insurance can have expensive thourough medical care. And not untill the old folks on the medicaid hall in a nursing home can have just has high tech care as the people in private pay rooms and medicare rooms.
There are a lot of people in the U.S. who can't afford Obama care b/c they live paycheck to paycheck......like my friend, Angie, and my g.friend's son, Glenn, who has stage IV lung cancer.They never go to doctors b/c the office visit price is too high.....and the meds that come with it.

shercrst - I am having trouble trying to understand why you are asking this question. When you say expensive medical therapies - how do you know this - it seems rather imotive to say "expensive". I realize that medical care in the states is not free at the moment but any human being deserves help where ever they are - presumably those who cannot afford help for ordinary medical care - I am sure and hope get help.
For the run of the mill illnesses - these can prove to be more of a problem i.e. on going if they do not get help and prove to be "expensive" Some may have contagious illnesses which would affect all around them to include the staff. Interesting to know you say "expensive" therapies - what in the world might these be. Regarding treatment of illness and suffering this is not up for question - of course they should be treated.
