I just saw this story on Yahoo News, which is terribly disturbing:
"ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. - The warden and four other officers at a state prison lost their jobs after an investigation found that a suicidal female inmate was held naked for several days. "
The article goes on to say that the woman was serving time for "having sex while HIV positive and committing battery on a law enforcement officer."
Aside from the prison abuse, I find it horrifying that laws in fact are on the books that make it illegal to have sex if you have HIV. I knew there were initiatives like that in the works, but did not realize that people were serving time for this. It seems grave to me.
