Nothing to do rarely with corruption in the prison system, Its called ingenuity by the prisoners,  Most of the men and women who work in them are good decent people.   With a very hard job, trying to control people who kill, hate and are in there for a reason.  

It is called men or women looking to get over, it is prisoner power plays,   over crowding.   i wish ya'all would stop trying to romantice this guys, and read some facts.

It's just amazing how corrupt some people in the prison system are,  that inmates can actually get drugs and syringes into the prisons....

this has become a real problem in our state. we are required to treat all prisoners, for everything and half of them are activly sharing needles and using while treatment is ungoing at taxpayers expense.... or they reinfect themselves shortly after tx while still in prison or soon after release.  You can take the man out of the prison, but we need to take the prison out of the man.

the stats for liver failure in continual drinkers or IV drug users are staggeringly poor....one reason why I think the day will come when sobriety before tx will become SOC. First treat the soul so that the drug cravings are gone, then treat the HCV...otherwise it is an excersise in futility. just my opinion. In fact the tx drugs in the presence of alcohol or certain recreational is even more harmful and likely to cause premature death, than to not treat.  (see cocksparrows recent thread on non-responders for those studies.

Would we see inmates committing crimes just before release in order to extend from 48 to 72?
