Question

Do you have to pay for therapy in jail? like if you get therapy while your in jail, is it payed by you or the government

Answer 1

I’m pretty sure they’re required to give you the necessary help you need. Just like a school has a counselor, the jails have a similar thing. I’m pretty sure Dorothea Dix made this possible, so the therapy could be accessible to all

Answer 2

Federal health programs will not pay for your care, but jails and prisons are responsible for providing essential health and mental health services to all inmates. You have a constitutional right to treatment while in jail or prison and can request it.
