If your husband who is incarcerated needs to have surgery for a medical procedure but the prison is delaying the process, the best way to get matters back on track is to consult with an attorney experienced in the area of criminal defense law as well as the laws pertaining to inmates to assist in getting the surgery scheduled.

You will also need medical orders from your husband's treating physician concerning the need for the surgery that you have written about.
