WTF? Either you want your prisoners living short miserable lives surrounded in filth, or you want to provide medical care. Don't do this shit halfway.
Also, how filthy could this place be? Were they spending their days waist deep in raw sewage or something? Wipe the wound with alcohol, and put a bandaid on it. Brush away the rodents from time to time.
