I was in jail with someone who had been given a life sentence. He needed a kidney transplant. He said there had been a lot of talk about giving a kidney to someone who was going to die in prison. He got the kidney transplant while he was locked up, and then he was later exonerated of the crime in an appeal.

I'm glad that he wasn't refused the kidney transplant simply because he was incarcerated, although I'm sure it happens.
