An inmate whose HIV-positive diagnosis devolved into AIDS died because the medical staff at the California jail where he was housed denied him lifesaving medication even though they had his prescription and were told he needed it to survive, a new federal wrongful death lawsuit alleges
Privatising penal and detention services is so bizarre. Does this happen a lot all over the world or just the US?
As an aside for people who may not realise, HIV isn’t a big deal provided that you manage it with meds. I’d rather have HIV than say, back problems.
Due to recent advances in medication delivery, it’s just 2 injections a year now.
For someone’s health to deteriorate like that in just 2 months, I suspect that he wasn’t able to keep up with his meds before he was arrested.
It’s basically just the anglosphere

That is 10 years out of date, so more are probably in on it because capitalism is fucked like that.
