Resources for Prisoners with Medical Concerns
September 30, 2002 - 8:23pm
Note: many information resources are web based—not much help for prisoners. This information was current when posted to the web in Spring 2005. If you’re a prisoner, ask a friend or family member to print information off the internet for you. If you’re on the outside, check out some of this web information, print it out, and send it inside.
