Prisoner Loses Penis and Untreated Spider Bite

I just received these news stories from Warrior about prisoners in Arizona:

A man with a growth on his penis was denied medical treatment for two years. Doctors ultimately diagnosed a cancerous tumor on his penis; the organ had to be amputated, and doctors told him the cancer had spread to his stomach.

Carlos Archuleta, a Tucson inmate, said he begged repeatedly for help after being bitten in the groin by a spider last June. After four days, he was transported to a hospital for an emergency operation to remove infected fluid and tissue. Doctors had to resuscitate him after his heart stopped during the operation, and Archuleta was kept in the hospital six days.

"The doctor said if they'd left it one more day, he'd be dead. Just because they're inmates doesn't mean you should treat them this way," said his mother, Guadalupe Lopez. She added, "If he'd gotten proper medical care on day one, taxpayers wouldn't have had to pay for an emergency surgery and the hospital stay."

Corrections' spokesman Marson said "appropriate care was provided" to Archuleta.

Don't break the law dumb ass. Stories like this are nice to hear. As for the comment above .... you are what is wrong with this country. Please pack your things and get out of our country. Who knows if this scumbag raped and murdered a child or brought drugs into our country and helped ruin countless lives. Prison is bad and that's how it should be viewed. The ACLU is a freaking joke. They actually spent taxpayers money to fight for an inmate who wanted crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy And because of bleeding heart faggots like the above author he won. No. I Think prison should be a harsh and terrible place where shit like this happens every day.

The brain donors are in town again. I wonder if they are religious? Something in me links religion with a hate of anyone in jail; a hate of a lot of people actually. I must say that their 'Good Book' isn't one I've read. The Bible, Koran and other mainstream religious texts yes, but not theirs.
