You know this but those reading your comment might not. 

NURSES in prisons can be sadistic because they have so much power. Nurses can override the directions of bonafide Medical Doctors who come in from outside to see prisoners. NURSES can decide to refuse a prisoner the medication/procedures prescribed by those doctors, then the prisoners must go through grievance process and court

Prisoners, especially wrongfully convicted lifers, are mistreated in an attempt to cover up the court's mistakes, can be kept forever while not getting medical treatment needed. Medical treatment in prisons is often used as an extra-judicial way to punish and threaten. 

I know a prisoner who wore dentures when he was first incarcerated. His dentures eventually wore out/broke. The federal government paid five different dentists to make new dentures, none of which were wearable. He was conditionally released with his old broken dentures and immediately got dentures that fit!
