DOC: "Only 5 Percent" of Swine Flu Vaccine Has Gone to Inmates

Um.. yea.. inmates have no human rights. If they die, who cares?

That'll teach them from carrying MJ.
That'll teach them from stealing.

Your logic is flawed. When the general population is denied vaccines even though they want it, there is something wrong when the incarcerated are given it. Yes, I understand that prisons are at high risk for major infection, but they also chose to ignore the law. They do have human rights, but not at the expense of the general population.

Prisons should get vaccines equal to their population in the state. If the state consists of 5% criminals, they got 5% of the vaccine. It makes no difference whether they broke the law or not. It's criminal the way prisoners are treated medically. They die of heart attacks because guards and nurses think the prisoner is faking it.

'I watched medical staff remove a man who had died from a heart attack in an isolation cell be taken out on a gurney and hit with high voltage from the heart paddles. The body jumped so high that it fell right off of the gurney onto the floor. I heard the medical staff say, "Gee that was fun. Should we do it again?""

"I have personally witnessed nursing staff at the RMF take over an hour to insert a simple IV. And then when the IV was started the IV needle was severely bent in the patient's vein. The same man that endured the bent IV needle was disconnected from the IV and blood dripped all over the cell floor and all over this man's bed. We were all exposed to the open bent needle for hours as well as being exposed to the bodily fluids.

The man was forced to lay in his own blood for over four days. We requested clean sheets and cleaning supplies, but were refused by forensic X..."

And we get all bent out of shape when we mistreat people at Gitmo. Just one peak in our own prisons can reveal sights equally as horrifying.

If you want more info, look up the prison industrial complex.
