Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really need help. I have a kidney recipient that has a living donor that is in prison. Recipient states Warden told him they have prisoners donate kidneys all the time, it is not a big deal. My question is....who pays for the this? The guards and transportation etc. Felecia Transplant Financial CoordinatorSt 's Kidney Transplant Program200 Jefferson St. SEGrand Rapids, MI 49503PH Fax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Same response – and guards would be needed 24/7 in the hospital for the surgery and inpatient recovery time. Recipient insurance or the transplant center would bear none of the transportation or guard expenses.
