I think it’s called safety.

The new legislation stipulates that within the next five years California must start distributing condoms in around three dozen state prisons.

Inmates inside US prisons are more likely to have sexually transmitted infections and diseases than the general population.

It is hoped that the new law in California will reduce the spread of STIs and STDs like HIV and Hepatitis C.

Previously condoms were contraband in California because sex between prisoners is illegal.

Two previous incarnations of the bill were rejected by Governor Schwarzenegger and Governor Brown before it was finally passed on the third attempt.

    jimmy needs to wear a hat. I can’t believe the measure was rejected twice before. I guess the conservative mantra is just pretend it isn’t happening.

    RW heads will explode with their usual short shortsightedness, failing to realize that the cost of treatment for just ONE prisoner with an STD will more than make up for the cost of all the condoms in a year.

      not to mention that whatever they get inside, once they get out they pass it on.

    Vending machines, …they should be free. Also teach them that no means no.
