The only thing he can do is get an attorney to go to court and file a motion with the court to secure medical treatment when the prison will not provide required treatment. The attorney will also obtain information on the reason for the probation violation which will allow your son to better prepare to fight the case against him. When someone is in prison and needs medical care, the prison has pretty wide discretion, so when they are not providing proper care or medication, the only avenue available is the court. You can also try the ACLU which fights these battles without charge.
