Schwarzenegger Puts Prison Medical Facilities at Stake

Arnold Schwarzenegger is good to look at in movies. Especially with his fights, which he faces with his big muscles, he used to look like a he-man. As the governor of the Californian state, he is into a fight with prisoners’ medical bills. Since it is not a hand-to-hand fight this time, he fights it with his governor power.

The Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Attorney General of the state Jerry Brown, are to ask the Government to stop the $8 billion medical facilities plan for the prisoners of the state.

The budget was for the prison health care system in order to support the seven holistic facilities. At present, there are an estimated 10,000 inmates in the prison and it is for the health system of these people that the plans were proposed.

It is estimated that California spends over $13,778 per inmate on health care each year. This is very high, compared to $4,413 in case of the federal prisoners.

And since the state is in lack of funds, it had to halt the spending on even high priority programs.
