Health workers have been handing out condoms to inmates at the jail since 1989 as part of a safe-sex program aimed at getting them ready for their release back into society.
Distributing condoms to inmates is "worth it," said Kate Monico Klein, who's directing the program under the City's Public Health Department, because it could save lives. - NBC Bay Area
This shit has to be, ONE OF THE BEST IDEAS IN AGES! If other prisons did this the AIDS rate might be ALOT lower. Because alot of prisons don't have condoms or people passing out condoms, they are using whatever they can find and contracting infections because of it. More prisons need to keep this in mind.
Nadja Benaissa, from successful girl group No Angels, is on trial for carelessly sleeping with four men and possibly infecting one of them. Nadja (29) was diagnosed with HIV at 17 years old when she went for a routine check up after finding that she was pregnant. Now if you watch the video you can see that she obviously doesn't care. The smirk on her face clearly shows that she isn't concerned about anyone else but herself. Shes about to get 10 years for ATTEMPTED MURDER! If you ask me she should spend the rest of her life in prison. I'm more so concerned about her daughter. At 12 years old her daughter is old enough to understand that "Mommy gave someone something they can't get rid of." It really is a fucked up situation. Its fucked up how you are so mad at the world that you want to pass that on to someone who has done absolutely nothing to wrong you. Its fucked up how selfish people can be in this day and age. People please! Know your status, and if you don't WRAP IT UP. HIV knows no face, no age, no gender, so sexual preference, it doesn't care if you live in an upper middle class neighborhood with a wife and kids, it doesn't care that you live in the hood, it doesn't care that you go to church every Sunday... HIV/AIDS HAS NO SPECIFIC DEMOGRAPHIC! Be Safe. If not for yourself then for our future children.
While some are not too thrilled about this, I honestly think that its a good idea. Crack addiction is bad in itself. Any drug addiction is bad, but at least giving out free pipes and needles will keep people from sharing needles and eventually contracting Hepatitis, or even worse HIV/AIDS. I personally don't feel like this is irresponsible. Contrary to what many may think, and I'm going to say this especially to those of you who feel like addicts are "An abomination to God," did you ever stop to think that reaching out to the addicts and giving them kind words might help them WANT to get clean and sober? Yeah your giving them clean needles to shoot up, but thats just like giving your 18 year old daughter condoms even though you feel like fornication is wrong! Yes its wrong, but you can't stop them so why not atleast make sure their being safe about it? What do you think?
