re: #154 Aunty Entity Dragon

I know this frustrates you and it should. I’m just telling you that jail authorities are not there to help prisoners who come in with serious medical conditions. They will assume you are scamming or some such, and unless the medical personnel there really make an issue of it, nobody and I mean nobody gives a shit if a prisoner is badly ill.

Yep. We handled a case years ago where a guy was wrongfully detained, and while getting slammed around (he was pissed about getting hauled in for asking WTF while his friend was getting arrested), his back went out. Bad. As in, losing control of bowels, unable to stand up.

Guards left him for 3 days in his cell lying in agony in a puddle of his own shit & piss. I’m guessing with the profile Cliven has, he won’t get that same level of neglect, but the attitude is “Hey pal, this ain’t a health spa. And if you die, fuck you, that’s just one less meal we gotta serve up.”
