I guess it depends on if their in jail/prison for life? If so, they have a retirement plan paid for by the taxpayer.
If someone goes to jail and they have investments (ie, IRA's, retirement accounts, stocks, etc.) than those items continue to have value and/or grow as they would for anyone else.

Well if they die in prison, I suppose one can call that a retirement plan. If they had a retirement plan before they were incarcerated, they would have access to that plan. (IRA's Annunities, 401(k) etc) The state has no official prisoner retirement plan.
Many are confusing medical care with retirement plans. The state has an obligation to provide medical care. If a prisoner breaks a leg or required medical attention, the jail cannot refuse to treat. There is no obligation for the prison to provide a IRA etc for the inmate.

well if they had one when they went, and depending on what they did, some prisoners surely have retirement plans.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're NOT employed and they don't pay into anything!
However, the day they step foot in a prison (and wish to stay their for the rest of their life) they are 'sort of retired'. They live off of our taxes and don't do anything to earn it.
Therefore, they (the ones in there for life) do have a great retirement plan.............................

Sure they do! They have the ability of spending their declining years in the prison medical facilities.
