Death row inmates denied health care

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) — Death row inmates at the federal prison in Terre Haute are routinely denied access to medical, dental and mental health care, the American Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday in a letter to a governmental official.

A year-long investigation by the ACLU's National Prison Project uncovered "grossly inadequate" conditions that "fail to meet constitutional standards and jeopardize the health and safety" of the more than 50 inmates awaiting execution at the prison, the organization said in a letter to Harley Lappin, director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

"The Constitution prohibits deliberate indifference to the serious medical needs of prisoners, including those sentenced to die," ACLU attorney Gabriel B. Eber said in a news release. He called on officials to "do whatever is necessary" to correct the problems.

Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Felicia Ponce said she could not comment because she was not sure whether Lappin had seen the letter.

Eber said his investigation included interviews with prisoners and a review of hundreds of pages of prison records.

 

According to the letter, prison officials do not promptly respond to medical emergencies, provide "woefully deficient" access to acute health care and consistently ignore signs of possibly serious medical conditions. It cited one instance of an inmate, who was not identified, pressing an emergency call button in his cell for 45 minutes before receiving attention for a heart problem.

It took three hours for a doctor to arrive and for the prisoner to be taken to the prison hospital, and another five days before the prisoner received his first dose of medication prescribed by a cardiologist.

"The failure of prison officials to adequately respond to the medical emergencies of prisoners, and to ensure proper access to critical medications, is inexplicable and could well result in prisoner deaths," Eber said.

The letter also said inmates are subjected to intense noise that results in sleep deprivation and "significant psychological distress."

Service

I became confused when I heard these terms with reference to the word 'service'.  

Internal Revenue   'Service'

U.S. Postal   'Service'

Telephone  'Service'

TV   'Service'   

Civil  'Service'

State, City & County  Public   'Service'

Customer  'Service'

This  is not what I  thought 'service' meant. But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to 'service' a few cows. BAM!!!  It all came into focus. Now  I understand what all those 'service' agencies are doing to us.  

I hope you are as enlightened as I am.

A woman...

visited her plastic surgeon who told
her about a new procedure
called "The Knob," where a small knob is
placed at the top of the woman's
head and could be turned to tighten up her
skin and produce the effect of a
brand new face-lift. Of course, the woman
wanted "The Knob."

Over the course of the years, the woman
tightened the knob, and the
effects were wonderful, the woman remained
young looking and vibrant.
After fifteen years, the woman returned to
the surgeon with two problems.
"All these years, everything has been working
just fine. I've had to turn
the knob many times and I've always loved the
results. But now I've
developed two annoying problems: First, I have
these terrible bags under
my eyes and the knob won't get rid of them."

 The doctor looked at her closely and said,
"Those aren't bags, those are  your breasts."

 She said, "Well, I guess there's no point in
asking about the goatee."
