let the disease infested criminals pass it around
Yes means yes, no means yes.
Remember that we also pay for AIDS treatment in prison as well.
So not only are we feeding them housing them and giving them tv.. but also paying for expensive AIDS treatment.
While I might agree with you on general principle, the problem is that there are innocent people in prison because of "crusading" Attorney Generals like Scott Lockyer (I may have the name wrong here - he's the A-Hole from MA), Eliott Spitzer, and that fascist swine from California whose name escapes me. Those people don't even deserve to be in prison, much less get HIV.
