Make Prison Healthcare a part of Public Safety

Communities are directly impacted by the medical conditions that exists within our prisons. Creating a synchronized comprehensive healthcare treatment plan will protect our children and communities from disease and illnesses.

Why is this important?

Too many people are bringing their medical conditions and infectious diseases back to their communities once they are released from prisons. Government has an obligation and legal responsibility to reduce such spread of infectious diseases and other medical conditions that impact community healthcare costs and more important the lives of those infected by family members, friends, or neighbors who are exposed to such risks. Better medical care and a comprehensive community public health policy will reduce risks to our children and family members.
