June 8, 2007

When health care isn’t free, the prison doctor notices a big difference:

“Warden David Hogue told me the prison doctor has 70 percent less inmates wanting to see him,” Armstrong County Commissioner Rich Fink said during a public meeting Thursday. “Inmates always want to see the doctor.

“But not so much when they have to pay for it out of their own pockets,” he said.
