The story in question is about people who were already getting medical
treatment to reduce and eventually stop their use of addictive drugs,
but the prison service didn't permit those programmes to continue.
Given that the drugs to which they were addicted are available illegally
in prisons, withdrawing the treatment that was keeping the users *off*
drugs was clearly very irresponsible.

So are you saying that people shouldn't be compensated for medical
malpractice? Or that only *nice* people should be compensated for
medical malpractice?
