Discuss the constitutionally guaranteed rights a prison inmate enjoys with regard to healthcare

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The answer should discuss three predominant rights; 1) the right to access to care, 2) the right to care that is ordered, and 3) the right to professional medical judgment. The answer should also discuss the right to psychiatric care if the inmate's symptoms evidence serious disease or injury; if the disease is curable or can be alleviated; and the denial of care would increase the risk of harm to the inmate.
