Unfortunately even if the states were forced to do this, they would just end up taking more money out of my pay check and doing a hideous job of helping anyone. Here in Cali the jail system is on total overload, and would probably have to be dismantled to be fixed (as would the public school system, social services and child welfare systems to name a few).
I think I would be more afraid of a doctor treating me in jail then I would be of being left alone.
