This reminds me of a news story from a few years ago. An elderly man had robbed a bank and only asked for $1. When he was arrested he said he couldn't afford to get the various medical treatments he needed so he wanted to go to jail so he could get the healthcare they would provide him as a prisoner

I think they don't even do that anymore nowadays. Provide healthcare in prison that is.

This is false, they absolutely still do.

Watched an inmate receive one of the ridiculously overpriced antiviral cures for Hepatitis-C.
