Most people in prison can't get necessary testing until it's too late. That goes from stomach pain to back pain to a tooth ache to mental illness. More testing means more dollars spent. More than half of the prison population is on some type of drug that alters the normal function of the brain. I'm not against mental health meds, but many of the guys in prison are doped up. They are terrible self-reporters and they have no chance when they have acute pain. I've read through prison personnel files and the medical treatment, while they get it, is not sterling in any respect. I would call it sub-standard in most respects and terrible if you have any type of condition more complex than strep.
