What if an inmate has special dietary or medical needs?
Medical screenings are conducted on each inmate at intake, when the inmate is asked to disclose all medical conditions. Based on that information, special dietary and medical plans are formulated. A licensed dietician is on staff within Food Services to see to dietary needs of inmates, and Correctional Health Services is responsible for the medical needs of inmates. Inmates may turn in a request at any time to be seen by health care staff, and an appointment will be scheduled.
