What can my incarcerated family member do to receive medical care and what services are offered?
The department provides medical, dental, psychiatric and psychological services and treatment to inmates. Emergency care is available 24 hours a day. Correctional officers undergo a yearly training program and are expected to respond to health emergencies within four minutes. Inmates who have illnesses or injuries that cannot be adequately treated at the institution where they are incarcerated are transported to hospitals and clinics.
