Man commits crime in WI stating: WI prison healthcare is better than other places

I know how to cook and can afford good food. It isn’t a personal observation, but a societal one.

Scandinavian countries have healthcare and basic needs met better than most other parts of the world. No need to commit crimes to go to jail.

I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that prison doesn’t suck enough.

Jerry Reed would agree!

Fun fact:
The incarcerated are the only class of people whose right to government-provided healthcare is guaranteed in the US constitution itself. The Supremes have ruled that to fail to provide for their legitimate medical needs constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

Of course, many of the incarcerated believe that their medical wants are actual needs. Explaining repeatedly that they don’t actually need an MRI because their knee pops and cracks when they use it gets tedious.

Its also cheaper. Public health care systems are cheaper than America’s system. And in America, the public health care systems (medicare, medicaid) are cheaper than private insurance.

If America’s health care were as efficiently run as Europe, we’d save a trillion dollars a year.

Maybe he read this thread.

Too bad it isnt a bottle of aspirin and s box of band aids.

Yeah, tell that to Jeffrey Dahmer.

Probably because all that cheese.

6 months out of a 20 year stint, he barely knows how to open doors for himself, let alone how to access Medicare.

How long has that been eating you?

:flees:

Turns out, the guy based his opinion about WI prison healthcare from a fellow inmate who’d been in the WI prison system 5 years ago, not 50. So I can claim credit! :smiley:

But isn’t bank robbery a federal crime so he’d go to one of Trump’s specials?

He’s in the state prison system, not the federal one. I don’t know the whys or why nots, but that’s the way it is.

Gives you warm fuzzies?

I’ll take all the affirmations I can get. I work in a max security prison, for Og’s sake!!

The judge ought to REALLY teach him a lesson and deny him a prison sentence.

He asked for 10 years. The judge only gave him 3.

But he offered him two additional years for good behavior.
