A prison health care company that has come under fire nationally for what some call shoddy medical care is under contract with the Virginia Department of Corrections and stirring similar complaints here. Prison Health Services, the largest U.S. provider of health care to inmates, has been the target of lawsuits and allegations of poor medical care and neglect in other states and now provides care to about one-third of Virginia's 31,270 inmates.
