Prison Health Care


"In spite of the high price, there is evidence that the medical care delivered in Virginia's prisons is inadequate and substandard."I'm not a health expert but I can say that I have a lot of clients who complain about their mental health medicine being taken away when they get in jail because "they don't need it." I don't give much credence to my clients who talk about addictive pain killers being replaced with Tylenol but when expensive, nonaddictive, mental health medicine is denied I have to admit I get suspicious.
