Medical Treatment

My inmate is sick with fever, will the prison send her out to get proper treatment?

I have a daughter who is very sick (let's just say her health in general) absolutely cannot eat certain foods on top of ovarian cysts/cancer that who knows how bad it is now but my question is,,, she's been complaining of some bad pain in her upper right side while in county jail, not to mention a high fever one day then real low the next so will the prison send her out to get proper treatment?

Yes, there is a full-time nurse on staff and an inmate with a fever will get the proper attention and treatment
