I have not heard about that one before, and it's gross. It sounds like Illinois and New Hampshire had similar things with their prison system, but outlawed it into 2019.

The medical fees are the worst. Nobody seeks medical treatment because they can either spend the $15 on seeing a nurse to be told their cancer is simply a stomach ache (happened to a friend), or spend it to call their kids on the phone for maybe 20 mins that week.

People hide all sorts of diseases and complaints until they are so sick they have to be forcibly removed -- this way you can avoid the fee.
