20. Yet somehow people locked up for lesser crimes can die for lack of medical attention....
The California prison and county jail systems are not a good place to receive timely or quality medical treatment.

As for Susan Atkins, I am not sure why a dying woman is getting heroic medical treatment (which is what $1.4 million would buy you) when hospice care would seem to be far more appropriate. Unless they're afraid that lawyer she married might sue the bejesus out of them.
