Brain Dead

It turns out getting shot in the head will earn you a 'get out of jail free' card in California.

"An inmate who was left brain-dead after being shot by a prison guard last month was freed from custody"

This statement by a prison offical is telling...
"He's the family's responsibility now"

Apparently it is ok to spend tax dollars locking people up for drug possession, but not ok to spend tax dollars taking care of them when government agents shoot them in the head.

This sounds similar to the Pentagon policy of discharging wounded soldiers without making sure they have enough cash to get home.
