GMHC Releases HIV Policy Recommendations for Prisons
A new report by Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC) addresses the domestic epidemics of HIV and mass incarceration. Fenced In: HIV/AIDS in the U.S. Criminal Justice System explores why communities with high rates of incarceration also have high HIV rates. Some policy recommendations in the report for prisons include: recruiting prisoners to become peer educators about HIV; avoiding the use of solitary confinement for prisoners with HIV, which can make access to treatment difficult; and making condoms easily available.
