Despite the inherent tension between correctional and medical roles, the obligation to provide health care in correctional settings is well-established. As the Supreme Court has noted:
Just as a prisoner may starve if not fed, he or she may suffer or die if not provided adequate medical care. A prison that deprives prisoners of basic sustenance, including adequate medical care, is
