Inmates at this jail will have to pay to see a doctor or nurse

A deterrent for felons who abuse the system for medical care:

Inmates at the Northumberland County Prison will now have to pay to see a doctor or a nurse.

The prison board Wednesday approved a policy requiring inmates to pay a $3 fee to see a nurse and $7 to see a doctor.

It’s about time that we limit the resources for inmates. In a country where law abiding citizens have trouble recieving health care benefits, those inmates drive up the cost of health care. I’d like to see prisons being self sufficient also.
