South: Alabama: Inmates With H.I.V. Back In The Mix

The New York Times - Wednesday, January 21, 2004
Ariel Hart (NYT)


Limestone Correctional Facility in Harvest will stop isolating H.I.V.-positive prisoners from the rest of the prison's population, allowing them to participate in educational and vocational programs with other prisoners. Alabama is the only state still to segregate H.I.V.-positive prisoners, said Margaret Winter, associate director of the A.C.L.U. National Prison Project. Ms. Winter called the new measures a "huge and historic" step. Women with H.I.V. are still segregated, she said. Ariel Hart (NYT)
