While I agree that the US has a serious imprisonment problem (jailing people for the wrong reasons), I have to believe that getting doctors to work in the prison system requires some significant financial incentives -- and most of these people seem to be medical professionals.

> some significant financial incentives ...

Oh I understand that but a $500k increase from $200k to $700k ?

Could just mean that the person didnt work a full year previously. Numbers without real context dont really help, me thinks.
Agreed. The numbers just don't make much sense without that context.
