Brett Seacat, the Kansas policeman convicted of deliberately burning down his house in Kingman, Kansas, with his wife inside of it, gets to serve his life sentence at another prison, at an undisclosed location. Kansas Department of Corrections has a protocol allowing cops to serve time in prisons other than where they would be incarcerated normally, so they won't have to serve alongside prisoners they may have arrested. Isn't that special? If Seacat had food allergies or autoimmune disease, there would be no special accommodations. If Seacat needed a restricted diet for medical reasons, it would probably be ignored. If Seacat had a mental illness, chances are rather strong that no one in the Department of Corrections would worry about it. But the fact that Seacat is a cop means he merits special treatment and taxpayers have to pay to transport him from El Dorado to a prison somewhere else. Why can't taxpayers get the choice of what gets funded and prioritized within the prison system? They might worry about healthcare before worrying about the safety of dirty cops.
