No one finds him because he died in the roof rafters.<br />Yes, some inmates think it is funny to pretend to be sick to get out of work or try and get drugs they don't really need.<br />But it is the ones who are ill that seem to get left by the wayside. Get left to die.<br />That is Michigans version of the death penalty. <br />The general public believe that inmates get free health care. It is to a point. The point being that the state charges them $5 co-pays for each time they are called out for any medical/dental/vision visit. Most doctors just tell the inmates "drink more water". That won't help the guy who is short of breath because his high blood pressure medicine was not given on time or at all.<br />What people need to ask themselves is "What is being human all about?"<br />We are extremely kind to animals, yet treat humans who have erred with disgust and disdain.<br />It is easy to think that way. At least until it happens to you or a loved one.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219707611999368305noreply@blogger.com
