AIDS Behind Bars

Hosted by
Is there a connection between the rise in AIDS among African-Americans and unsafe sex in prison? African-Americans make up 13% of the U.S. population but are getting 57% of new HIV infections, and the highest concentration of AIDS is in our prisons. Is the African-American community, the government and the penal system in denial about a public health crisis?
