Generally, medical attention is given immediately when requested. If your husband is not receiving the proper assistance, then he needs to make a formal request. In the worst case scenario, he should contact the attorney who represented him at trial and ask for the attorney to write a letter to the court demanding medical assistance.

Re: inmate property

If an inmate requires medical care, the jail usually provides it if necessary. They might feel his condition is not serious. I would contact the lawyer, the judge and the jail with letters demanding help. I dont know wahat bsd is. Contact the jail or police holding the money to find out what you need to do to get it back.
