This film explores a subject which has not really been touched on by the wider American public; can the nation financially support it's gigantic prison population when they are getting older and sicker? Rising healthcare costs due to health innovations, and more costly care methods, are in line with the rest of society, but can the US people really support this kind of system. KPBS takes a look inside three of California's state prisons, including the California Medical Facility, where many the oldest and sickest long-term inmates go to end their days.
