Can an inmate have dentures made?
My son who is incarcerated in a California private prison for the next two years. Can he have dentures made there and, if so, what is the process for him to apply?

There are limited medical and dental recourses in the state prison system.

There are limited medical and dental recourses in the state prison system. Dental emergencies are largely remedied by pulling the tooth/teeth affected, not mending them. They never offer a cosmetic choice. If your inmate has dentures already, he can receive them but in no way will the state foot the bill for new dentures.
