Title: Sentenced to Stigma: Segregation of HIV-Positive Prisoners in Alabama and South Carolina
Summary: Upon entering the state prison system in Alabama, South Carolina or Mississippi, each prisoner must submit to a test for HIV. In Alabama and South Carolina, the HIV test determines where prisoners are housed, eat and worship. These prisoners are denied equal participation in prison jobs, programs, and re-entry opportunites that facilitate their transition back into society.
