I have been told I will have to serve a prison sentence. I have also been informed that the health care inside is next to nil. I have type 2 and take two types of insulin, have you any advice you can offer please?

Whilst you may not have any on-hand support for your diabetes, I feel fairly certain medication would be provided. There must be other people, taking long terms medications incarcerated.
