Yes, the prison medical facilities are staffed with registered medical personnel with special training dealing with incarcerated patients. The only time the treatment becomes restrictive is if the inmate themselves become unruly. Remember that the prison units in general want to keep their record free from incidents that would negatively affect their funding. Training, empathy, caring and general well-being are a part of the process that inmates get "most of the time" from prison staff members.  The bad eggs exist in every system and unfortunately one negative story spoils the way people see the entire picture for any setting. Inmates are incarcerated for committing a crime, the punishment is the jail time, there are no added punishments unless they are brought on by the inmate's behavior or failure to do their time in an orderly fashion.
