My son has lymphoma and is going through chemo, he is also going to court and has been sentenced to 4 months?

in prison. the judge said he can have chemo in prison but it will take awhile to set it up, so my son will disrupt his treatment which could jeopardize his life, but the judge and his public defender act like they can't do anything about it. what can i do?

Get a better lawyer. If you cannot afford one, you may be able to find one who, under the circumstances, will do it pro-bono.





If he's not a flight-risk, he should be allowed to do his time under house-arrest, not in a stinking prison!





#$%%26amp;^ public defenders!
Reply:Without knowing what he did, it's hard to say, but I would contact your Congressmen.

You're not supposed to die in jail from something which is a right - healthcare.
Reply:If he needs care and you can certifiy it - then it needs to be on schedule- or he has a cause of action against the system. If it is county jail then I suggest you contact the county health department or health officer - whomever is in charge of jail health care. How about the newspaper?
Reply:I would talk to Social Services, because even though he is in prison he still ha sthe right to medical care expecially if it is life threatening.





Next I would talk to a lawyer, because if anything happenes to your son such as his illness turns for the worse and it was do too non medical treatement---YOU CAN SUE





Lastly---%26gt; Pray and make sure your son gets on the right terms with Jesus Christ..Because all things are possible through him!
Reply:Should have thought of this before committing the crime eh?
Reply:All prisioners have the right to seek medical attention, they will escort him to hospital for Chemo if the facility is not ready in the prison.
