If a long-serving prisoner gets seriously ill and needs huge amounts of money for medication, does he need to pay for it himself?

Prison as a criminal detention institutions, for the general public is mysterious, unlike some other equally mysterious things in the feeling of curiosity also want to go in to find out the truth, the mystery of the prison just stays above the curiosity, but if you really let other people in-depth understanding of the words of the close contact, may be reluctant, but in order to meet the curiosity of people as well as from the perspective of life elements and inspiration, many film and literature are inside the movie. To satisfy people's curiosity as well as from the life of the elements and inspiration point of view, many of the film and television works and literature will appear inside the depiction of the prison, and we usually watch some film and television works or some literature, may see a criminal committed a felony was eventually captured by the police, but the criminal suddenly got seriously ill, then have to carry out treatment, and this time may film and literature inside the prison, and the police will not be able to see the criminal. The movie and literature may reflect that the state will give treatment to the criminal, but what is the reality, is it as depicted in the movie and literature?

The long-serving prisoners who are seriously ill and need high treatment costs are paid by the families of the criminals, and if the families can't afford the money, then the criminals can only sit and wait for death, and the state is only responsible for the most basic medical care, and is not responsible for high-cost treatments and cures, because the prisons are sentenced institutions, not charitable organizations

First of all, many prisoners need to go through a process before entering the prisons. The first thing that many prisoners have to go through before entering the prison is a program that is not depicted in many movies and literature, and that is the extremely harsh and detailed physical examination. Prisoners in the formal entry into the prison before serving their sentences, need to go through a very harsh examination, not only the surface of the body of the skin disease, the body inside the various chronic inflammation or serious diseases have to go through the examination, the procedures are very complex, the examination is very strict, can be completely checked out the prisoner in the sentence before there is no disease.

And in general, if there is no disease inmates will enter the prison to serve the official sentence, and be arranged to carry out normal labor reform, and if there is a chronic inflammation of the sentenced patients, according to the severity of the inflammation may be carried out at different levels of reform, some will be canceled, and if there is a very serious disease, then the prison will not be admitted, but to return to the guardhouse, and by the family to pay for treatment. If the disease is very serious, the prison will not accept it, but return it to the detention center, and the family will pay for the treatment, and if it can be cured, it will go back to the prison to continue to serve the sentence, otherwise it will let nature take its course, but of course, it will not regain its freedom, after all, it is a criminal. If the disease occurs inside the prison, the prison will first of course provide treatment, and these are the most basic treatment, and the medication is also the cheapest, these costs are paid by the state, and if the disease is very serious, has exceeded the scope of the country to bear, then the family will be notified, and if the family is willing to carry out costly treatment, will carry out the relevant procedures to carry out the medical parole? Medical parole? and if the family to give up treatment, then the same can only let it take its course, after all, as mentioned earlier, the prison is not a charity, the state can not and is not obliged to use taxpayers' money to give criminals to bear the high cost of treatment, and this is in the case of the law are very reasonable.
