    My wife worked as a nurse in the prison system here in NC for almost 3 years, she spent her last few months at the women's prison in Greene county, that prison is now a male facility, she said the medical neglect is horrific, she ran an EKG and thoroughly evaluated all complaints of chest pain and most of the time when she activated EMS and sent someone out to the ER, they were admitted and sent to ICU. She was still accused of catering to the inmates, no in her words, she was hired to be a nurse and she wasn't going to have blood on her hands.

    Ignoring the health or medical needs of inmates, such as ignoring a potential heart attack, is cruel and unusual punishment. The jail should be held civilly and possibly criminally liable for unconstitutional practices. Failing to attend to the medical needs of older adults' or those with handicaps should constitute discrimination and be handled accordingly.

    I'm a nurse researcher and my research was always about inmates in both jails and prisons. EVERYTHING you said in your video is true, and unfortunately, much worse. Here's a horrifying example.....the prison where I was had a new inmate, and new inmates were always supposed to be seen by medical before they're assigned a "pod." We didn't find out he was there for several days, till the officer in charge of the pod called and asked us to take a look at him, saying that he was black bruised, with fresh wounds dripping blood down his face and arms. He was sent outside to make his way towards the medical unit. When he finally got close enough for me to see him, I ran out and seriously commanded an officer I saw to come help me with him, and he did so without question. I came to find out that this inmate had been through two other prisons un this state and was sent to another prison to another, to another, as he'd been wildly brutalized by other inmates at those prisons. Turns out he was originally arrested for a DUI but without accident.....just drunk which clearly is not smart or good. By the time I got him into our unit, I knew he was in bad shape. I called the doctor on call, he declined the opportunity to help the man (and as an aside, all the doctors affiliated with this prison, lived long distances away. I finally got him hydrated with an IV, cleaned his wounds, and promptly demanded that he be sent to the closest hospital, who tried to deny him services BECAUSE he was an inmate. They kept him about 24 hours and sent him back..to the same unit where he was brutalized. Oh, maybe I forgot to say that he'd sexually violated many times in that pod. I reported this to the warden myself and they decided to send him to another prison. I have no idea what happened to him then. Oh, and another gross thing happened to me when I looked up from the window I was passing out prescribed medications, the last person to leave showed an inmate standing behind him jacking off while he looked at me. I locked down our unit and went outside to point out to the officer what did. The officer escorted him to his unit, and I thought nothing more was done until I WAS CALLED IN BY A PRISON SARGEANT, along with the inmate in question and advised me in front of the inmate that I had to get used to this as incarcerated men do that all the time and I should get over myself. Had another experience where the nursing staff and two officers were assaulted with iinmates in lockdown got together and threw containers where they decided to store their urine and excrement on our heads. Happily an inmate who knew whispered that if I backed up to his door I'd be safe, and I was safe, but the officer and nurse definately were not. I sent them to the hospital in spite of the officers reluctance to make that happen. I quit that night.

    My brother is serving a life sentence at Two rivers correctional institution in Umatilla Oregon. Oregon doesn't have crime of passion so he got a life sentence. He has two medical neglect lawsuits open already. He's now in a wheelchair and the TLC committee approved him to take a seizure med and a depression med together instead of pain meds but the meds they prescribed together causes cns depression and he has 5 bulging disc's and severe spinal stenosis rn. I got ahold of the medical services lady today Cindy Dieter and she said she was in a "meeting" and will call me back. In 3 weeks not one call back. The doctor in charge of the TLC committee Warren Robert's used to be a neurosurgeon who lost his license bc he partly paralyzed a man. Now he works for the prison imagine that!

    So when you say inmates are charged for copays and prescriptions, what do you mean? A copay to whom? What insurance do you think inmates have that requires them to pay a copay?
    Inmates are covered by the department of corrections and if you think in inmate has to pay a copay for getting an x ray, you’re just wrong.

  • @IsraelWillBeFree

    Funny that so many of these folks, such as my soon to be X, want the system to care more about them then they do when they're not locked up. My husband is a drunk and when he's not actually drinking because he's locked up, yet again, he's a dry drunk and he has ulcerative colitis and Crohn's which he doesn't do much about unless he gets locked up. Doctors have stopped helping him because he doesn't show up for appointments and he doesn't stop drinking. But when he gets locked up he fills out so many grievances against them so I can see why they are at the bottom of the totem pole as far as concerns are concerned. When the drunk was in California prison on his first DUI is when he discovered his health issues. He was drinking on the inside. He has gone on and on about the scams that go on in there and one is making pruno. All that alcoholism almost killed him but he was taken to Stanford hospital where he stayed for three months till he was in remission. He continued to make pruno and deal pills so these inmates need to shut their pieholes when they live in the inside, the same as they did on the outside, and they have the audacity to hold others accountable for their sins and crimes more then they ever did or do themselves. That's why they get out and do it over and over again. When they aren't getting caught they're just hiding it better. One of the first things I learned about parole was his appointments. He would have an appointment scheduled a month in advance so he would quit drinking 4 days prior to his appointment. He's been on parole for like 9 years and he only had to be on 2years.tgen nine months from freedom, again, he started drinking and absconded to California and now he's back to having 2 years.

      What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. County jails don't give prescribed medication that inmates are already taking. I know someone that took all her sons medication to the jail, expressed how important they were. When he got out he was given the medications back never given to him while in jail. He just had surgery and was on several medications for various reasons. Granted he did break the law. But that does not mean they can just be thrown in jail and left to rot even before any conviction. Prisoners in state prisons get better medical care that someone who hasn't been convicted of a crime.

    • @2380Shaw
      @2380Shaw 5 лет назад +4

      You don't factor in that there have been people put in prison or even on death row who had been exonerated. Meaning they were innocent the whole time. So for those people who are in prison or jail and are completely innocent or waiting trial, you think they should just die off because of inadiquate health care?
