Today's Journal...
Prison medical care still not adequate, group says Group files motion to extend lawsuit first filed in 2003 COLUMBUS – The Cincinnati-based Ohio Justice and Policy Center filed a motion in U.S. District Court on Wednesday to extend a class-action lawsuit over the quality of prison medical care for 50,000 inmates, signaling that the long-standing fight may not be finished. A settlement agreement reached in 2005 led the state to hire 310 more medical staff and ramp up spending by about $28 million a year, according to the Correctional Institution Inspection Committee, a bipartisan legislative agency that keeps tabs on prison issues. THIS TAXPAYER SAYS THAT'S ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE HEALTH CARE OF PRISONERS. 28 MIL FOR 50,000 INMATES IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE. ENOUGH OF THIS BLEEDING HEART, KINDER-GENTLER, TAKE CARE OF THE "PEOPLE IN SOCIETY WITH BEHAVIORAL ISSUES" CRAP. THEY ARE PRISONERS. THEY CHOSE TO BREAK THE LAW AND NOT LIVE BY SOCIETIES RULES WHILE WE BUST OUR BUTTS OUT HERE TO TAKE CARE OF PROBLEM CHILDREN? NOW, WE HAVE THIS MAMBE PAMBE GROUP OF TWITS WHO CARE ENOUGH TO TIE UP COURT TIME FOR THIS? TV'S, WEIGHTS, LIBRARIES, DECENT ACCOMODATIONS, 3 MEALS A DAY.....ALL ON THE TAXPAYER.....ALL TO MAKE THEIR LIVES A "LITTLE EASIER". IT'S A PRISON FOR CRYIN' OUT LOUD. LET 'EM SUFFER A LITTLE. MAYBE, IF IT'S A BAD EXPERIENCE, THEY WON'T BE BACK. THERE'S A CONCEPT. THE CODDLING IN SOCIETY IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES BY IMO. The Ohio Justice and Policy Center says the problem has not been fixed. Inadequate staffing means inmates don’t get essential medications or receive timely care for serious conditions, the center said SOMEONE HAND ME A HANKERCHIEF SO THAT I CAN DRY MY EYES. I'M GETTIN' A LITTLE MISTY. MERCY. Ohio’s prison system spends $210 million to $223 million a year on medical care, including $28 million for prescription medications. As in the private sector, health care costs have exploded in the prison system over the last decade. In 2010, Ohio’s health care spending averaged $4,371 per inmate, up 85 percent from the $2,365 per inmate cost in 2001 RIDICULOUS. LET THE PRISONERS WHO CAN CONTRIBUTE, PAY FOR THEIR OWN HEALTHCARE WHILE IN PRISON. THE REST WHO CAN'T PAY GET REDUCED HEALTH SERVICE. THE TAXPAYER IS PLAYED THE FOOL AGAIN. |

Vet,
Maybe if they'd take away their cable TV subscriptions they'd be able to better manage the health care situation in prison. The real problem here is too many laws that incarcerate "victimless" crimes. Now that we have "for-profit" prisons, I would think that these costs would come down. They won't, of course, because now the private corporations that run the prisons have to "make a profit". You can count on increased costs so the revenue stream will continue to grow. |

In my opioion the goverment made a major mistake years ago by closing down State Mental Hospitals.
I believe they said that about 50% of the inmates that are currently in prison have sever mental health issues.
