Former Surgeon General Tells Congress That Correctional Health Reports Were Suppressed
Former Surgeon General Dr. Richard H. Carmona told a Congressional panel in July 2007 that top Bush administration officials suppressed his reports and opinions about the inadequacies of correctional health care and other public health topics. Dr. Carmona said drafts of surgeon general reports on global health and prison health were still being debated by the administration and if made public, would force the government on a course of action to improve the state of prisoner health.
