Being in prison is no fun, but going bald in prison must really be hell. That’s what prompted a prisoner in the UK to write a letter to the prison newspaper ”Inside Time” asking why he could not get the anti-hair loss drug Propecia in prison.
The prisoner, who was not named, wrote: “Can Inside Time tell me why Propecia would not appear to be available to prisoners through healthcare, as it is certainly available under the NHS.”
The newspaper submitted his question to Fiona Pearson of the UK’s Prison Service’s health service for an answer.
Her reply to the balding prisoner’s question was, “Propecia is only available on private prescription from GPs (general practitioners) in England, following a Department of Health consultation in 2000.”
Hopefully the doctors in England make jail calls.
