Special "Criminal" Feature - Thursday, April 9, 2009

Founder and director of the Wrongful Death and Injury Institute, KAREN RUSSO breaks down what is really happening in America's prison (for profit) system and details how this system deals with a variety of medical issues from experimentation (medical and dietary) to blood scandals and body parts. Once again, it appears our tax dollars are not being properly used as originally appropriated; and worse, not being utilized honorably.

"It is an absolute necessity for families to be knowledgeable of the prison system and medical contractor(s) contracted by Departments of Correction to deliver healthcare to your State's prison population. Families / friends must understand the medical rights of the inmate, how the prison HMO and prison system function individually and collectively. All too often documents that should be in place on behalf of the inmate are inadequate or do not exist."
