re: #51 Gert Frbe

BTW, just so you know, Locker, my position on this is similar to SFZ: it’s a procedure that causes people out in the free world a lot of money and anxiety and there are real questions about how they’ll be classified and handled in the prison system post-op, but the state, in part, has committed down this road.

As the state is responsible for medical care of the prisoners under their care, it really is a hard case to make that the state should not pay for the surgery, especially for someone who’s gonna spent the rest of their life (or a huge chunk of it) in prison.
