They get better care than the homeless guy on the street

I really agree with you. I feel like they shouldn't be denied healthcare but I have seen so much abuse of it. It is a really complicated issue.

Md Doc contracts in nurses you will not be working for DOC. Hagerstown nursing contract is Correctional Medical Services.

The prison I worked at had jobs available with in the prison. They should be treated like us if we do not have any money we go into debt or get medical assistance. Also people on the outside do not get treated for problems such as dental work, headaches, colds because of not having enough money.

Thank you all for your replies. I am not saying to deny them treatment, I am saying they should have to help pay even if it was only a couple dollars.

If you would like to work at the mddoc in Hagerstown call 3017332800 and ask for Melinda. I am not sure how the other prisons work but in Hagerstown you can not just go in and fill an application out you call get an interview then fill everything out at the interview.

Hello. I am writing a paper on why inmates should not recieve free medical and dental care, and looking for some ideas. I have already wrote some ways they abuse the system, and how it is unfair we pay for it. Thanks for your help.

Much congrats!

Thank you all for your support, I will let you know what happens

Yes that answered many of my questions:) Thank you so much.

I am having a problem getting in. I have some medical problems but my recruiter is going to resumit my medical records after I have a test done. The medical issues I have are things that I don't take medication for or have any treatments. My doctor is going to write a letter to say that I have no health precautions or treatments or restrictions on my activity, so maybe that will help. I don't understand why they wouldn't let me in with the conditions I have.

I hear ya:). My boyfriend calls me a freaking idiot for wanting to join. Most of my family is oppossed as well. They give me so many reasons why they think it is a bad idea. My advise to you is research and talk to lots of people who are actually in or were in and follow your heart. Don't give up your dreams. I tell my family that this is something I really have passion for and I believe in fate, when they talk about how I could die. That seems to help them understand a little bit. I hope this helps. Goodluck

I want to become a RN BSN so I can be an officer in the military. All I have found so far have been online programs. I am a LPN. Thanks

I really want to take care of the soilders, I have so much repect for them. But joining can be scary. Thanks for the reply

Cool:) Yeah I don't see myself as too old. I just have a lot of people telling me "You should of done that when you were 18 not now":)
