Victorian prisoners, including convicted murderers, rapists and paedophiles, are receiving free access to weight loss medications such as Ozempic at taxpayer expense, costing approximately $700 per month per inmate. The policy follows an incident where an inmate gained over 100 kilograms in prison and died from obesity-related heart issues. The Department of Justice and Corrections states the medication is only provided when there is a clear health benefit, amid Victoria's state debt approaching $200 billion.
