The history of inmate healthcare dates back to 1970 when the Arkansas State Prison System was deemed cruel and unusual punishment for their conditions, specifically the healthcare they provided the inmates.

In your opinion, what should the correctional system be liable for as it relates to healthcare of inmates? How should correctional administrators be able to charge inmates for medical services rendered?
