What medical services are available to inmates?
A medical screening is conducted by a nurse within four hours of arrival. Within 14 days, inmates receive a physical examination which includes testing for tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases. At both steps and throughout an inmate’s incarceration, it is imperative that he or she provides accurate and complete information on pre-existing medical conditions, treatment, and medication. Care and treatment is provided as necessary and appropriate as determined by healthcare professionals.
