BOP Medical Care is No Joke - Or is it?


Tyleno Hailed As New Cancer, Dandruff and Baldness Cure, says BOP

            In a medical breakthrough, the Bureau of Prisons, known for their cutting-edge medical treatment hailed by medical experts such as federal judges and federal prosecutors, as well as by numerous publications from prison guard organizations in  Texas, Florida, and Louisiana, generated real excitement in the medical community with its most recent announcement.  In a wide-ranging (and mandatory) study covering over 200,000 captive participants, the BOP announced that based upon its years of treatment experience that Tylenol and bed rest has shown real progress in treating all forms of cancer, not to mention dandruff and male pattern baldness.

            Senators Grassley, Cornyn, and other elected officials who have continued to push back against reforms of mandatory minimum sentences, pointed to the results of the study as proof that “mandatory minimum sentencing works” and is “a real health benefit to those who receive such long sentences.”  “The BOP has shown real courage in sticking to the Tylenol regimen,” they said, even in the face of statistics from other research bodies that call the BOP study “junk science.”

            Not so, say the BOP doctors and administrators, who point to statistics that treating serious illnesses with Tylenol has dramatically reduced BOP medical costs, permitting them to continue to incarcerate older and sicker prisoners, for whom a BOP sentence statistics show generally means a reduced life span or even death. 

 Treatment times for cancer patients have dropped dramatically, since most prisoners pass away prematurely.  “The best part,” say BOP officials, “is that we have the prisoners buy Tylenol off the commissary, if it is open.” One prisoner noted that, “When I came in I thought that getting BOP medical treatment was better than living under a bridge.  Now that bridge is looking pretty good.”

 

 

BOP medical treatment is no joke. It is structurally unsound and getting worse as the prison population ages and more prisoners need medical treatment, which there is little funding to provide.  Prisoners are suffering and dying unnecessarily.  It is time to take action.  Your life may depend upon it.  If you enjoyed this newsletter, pass it on.
