"Many jails & prisons have looked for ways to actively disincentivize [medical] care & shift the financial burden to incarcerated people & their families." Anna Anderson of @nclc4consumers.bsky.social on the staggering medical debt foisted onto incarcerated people
Medical Debt Behind Bars - Anna Anderson - Inquest
Incarcerated people accrue debt for nearly all of their medical care. This makes a mockery of their right to health care—and saddles them with devastating debt upon release.

Private prisons are bad, but they’re a small part of the system.
Mass incarceration is driven by public policy & spending — choices made by YOUR elected officials.

If prisons want to reduce the harms of solitary, they should simply stop throwing people into it.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

As someone who worked for the ODOC for two decades, directly with incarcerated people, I can say definitively that these people are abused by the ODOC medical system. The ODOC MUST move its health care outside of the department!
Again, none of this is going to change unless we acknowledge we can't house this many people under these conditions and we move the supervision of medical care outside of ODOC.

The sad truth is that many Americans already understand that sexual violence is a core feature of incarceration and simply think a different set of people should be subjected to it.
