Reading towards the bottom of this shows that ex-lawyers ( the US Supreme Court in 1976 ) determined the “standard of care” for prison inmates instead of health care professionals. Just as lawyers always do, their reasoning is vague, indeterminable, and ineffective.

Thanks. The TX penal system recently provided a dentist to construct dentures for certain inmates. It will take more than one to provide sufficient quantities.
