Medical Treatments for All Americans

Stacy’s Voice
​
Committed to helping the incarcerated get timely and practical medical treatment while they are in prison.

Philosophy: We are passionate about advocating for the people imprisoned across the nation, helping to bring an awareness to the lack of thorough and consistent health care given to those incarcerated. We will stand as the voice that is heard, helping to ensure the best medical care possible, by striving to amend current laws and work towards implementing new legislation that will secure the necessary and adequate healthcare that people incarcerated need. All people, regardless of their current situation deserve to be treated with respect and with a clear understanding of how their medical needs will be met and maintained.  We are working to assure that incarcerated people with health problems do get the care they need in a timely fashion and that they are treated with respect and care like patients in the rest of society.


Our Mission: To be a voice of advocacy for all inmates in the correctional system and to help facilitate and ensure the prompt and timely service of healthcare needs to those incarcerated.

Statistics

The Health and Health Care of US Prisoners: Results of a Nationwide Survey

News

Of the 366 prisoners who died in 2013, the death reviews found that 35 were “possibly preventable,” meaning that more adequate medical care  “might have prevented or significantly delayed the patient’s death,” according to Imai’s analysis.

Our team includes people who advocate for individuals that desperately need medical care while incarcerated.  

Please help us to be the voice that advocates for our incarcerated brothers and sisters who who are being denied adequate medical treatment.  

We would love to hear from you. You can contact us by phone or email...

ABOUT US

© 2017 Stacy's Voice. 

The prison population of the United States has quadrupled in the past 25 years, and the country now incarcerates more people per capita than any other nation. Worldwide, imprisonment per 100 000 ranges from 30 in India to 75 in Norway, 119 in China, 148 in the United Kingdom, 628 in Russia, and 750 in the United States.

​

Currently, nearly 2.3 million US inmates (about 1% of US adults) must rely on their jailers for health care.2 Although prisoners have a constitutional right to health care through the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of “cruel and unusual” punishment,3 periodic scandals, as well as previous studies, indicate that prisoners' access to health care and the quality of that care are often deficient.4,5 Indeed, citing deplorable conditions in California's prison system, a federal judge recently removed prison health care from the state's control.6 However, there is little nationally representative data on the health and health care of America's prisoners.

​

Inmates have high rates of chronic medical conditions, especially viral infections. In addition, substance abuse and mental illness are common among inmates.7,8 We are not aware of any study analyzing the prevalence of common chronic conditions or of access to medical and psychiatric care among the incarcerated population as a whole. Therefore, we sought to determine the prevalence of select chronic diseases, access to health services, and pre- and postincarceration psychiatric treatment among the US inmate population.
