The history of inmate healthcare dates back to 1970 when the Arkansas State Prison System was deemed cruel and unusual punishment for their conditions, specifically the healthcare they provided the inmates. In 2012, a federal judge ordered the Massachusetts Department of Corrections to pay the cost associated with a sex change operation of an inmate. In your opinion, what should the correctional system be liable for as it relates to healthcare of inmates? How should correctional administrators be able to charge inmates for medical services rendered?

I need a paragraph at least please/ theory of criminal justice

Solution

In my opinion the correctional system should only be liable for any situation that happened inside his walls, for example if an inmate got a back injury for carrying construction materials, but if the inmate already had a condition then the family of the inmate should be paying for his treatment, remember these are persons that broke the law and cannot live with the society, they were sentenced to stay on a correctional facility for a reason, why should they have better healthcare than the people who works every day for minimum wage and cannot afford or does not qualify for insurance?

Either the families of the inmates pay for the service or the inmate can work under supervision to earn money and pay for the service but is not fair that our taxes are paying for a sex change operation.
