Why is the provision for health care to incarcerated persons important?
What will be an ideal response?
The Supreme Court held that to be deliberately indifferent to the medical needs of inmates would violate the Eighth Amendment prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Additionally, the provision of decent health care to incarcerated persons is important not just because the Supreme Court mandates it, or because it is the moral thing to do for people who are not free to access health care on their own, but because the vast majority of jail inmates return to the community, most within a week or two.
