Unfortunately, medical care given in a prison is the worst. I would contact the Floirda Department of Corrections. You can get this information via the web. Call the director or the hightest up you can reach and followup it up with a letter. Also, contact the doctor in charge of the prison facility your son is in to alert the doctor of the problem and follow it up with a letter. In addition, contacting your state congressman is also an option. Finally, a lawsuit may be appropriate but expensive.
