They get better care than a lot of free citizens. There are more free citizens without health care than there are prisoners.
It costs each man, woman, and child who is not in prison approximately $135 each year to house prisoners. We have the highest incarceration in the world, mainly due to "feel-good" anti-crime minimal sentencing guidelines and draconian anti-drug use/possession laws.
Yes, there is a high level of suicide, murder, and death from AIDS in prison. The death rate for recently-released prisoners is also a good deal higher than that for the general population.
2.2 million prisoners
$40 billion annual cost
$28,000 (approx) cost per prisoner/year
