	Elderly Inmates (Site not responding. Last check: )
		There is a lack of a common definition of the term "elderly inmate." Because of the impact of lifestyle, medical care, and environmental factors in the aging process, and the background of most inmates, their physiological age may well surpass their chronological age.
		Inmates imprisoned for long periods of their life may be fearful of living in the free world.
		It has been a problem adequately classifying an "elderly inmate." Because of medical and social histories that include high risk sexual and health behaviors and high incidence of tobacco use and drug and alcohol use or abuse, researchers estimate an inmate’s physiological age to be an averaged 11.5 years more than their chronological age.

	HIV Transmission Among Male Inmates in a State Prison System --- Georgia, 1992--2005
		To describe the state's male inmate population and the 88 inmates known to have become HIV positive while in prison (i.e., seroconverters), investigators analyzed summary demographic data for all inmates and prison-movement and HIV-testing histories of seroconverters, all of which had been routinely collected for GDC administrative purposes.
		For the matched case-control study, to compare inmates with the same duration of exposure to risk for HIV transmission, control inmates were selected from the 31 prisons currently housing the case inmates and matched by sentence length (±2 years) and time already served (±2 years).
		Inmates who test HIV positive should receive antiretroviral treatment and care in addition to prevention counseling to protect future sex partners; before release, they should receive discharge planning and linkages to care in the community.

	Inmates find work, opportunities
		Even though the ACI inmates are treated as regular full-time employees at their outside jobs, there are issues the companies and the DOC have to deal with to ensure everything runs smoothly.
		Inmates are also required to wear their orange prison uniforms while on the job and are subject to full-body searches at any time.
		Many inmates work alongside regular employees, but ACI's rules dictate that their interaction must be limited to the job at hand, which Branson said means no exchange of personal information and no contact outside of work.

	Special Report
		The inmate admitted that he seduced the female Executive Assistant because the inmate was the leader of a gang and was looking for an edge in the power struggle with other inmate gangs.
		For example, inmates have engaged in sexual relations with staff to obtain from the staff drugs or access to unmonitored phones, to communicate with other inmates while in isolation, to gain access to sensitive information (such as which inmates are informants), or to acquire information that could assist them in an escape.
		Inmates also may suffer disciplinary actions for engaging in sexual relations with staff such as solitary confinement or undesirable transfers to another institution far from their families.

	Former inmates file lawsuit over prison cells without toilets - The Boston Globe
		Three former inmates filed a federal civil rights suit yesterday against Suffolk County Sheriff Andrea J. Cabral, alleging they were locked in cells without toilets and forced to urinate and defecate in bags, boxes, and cups.
		The inmates who filed the suit and others suffered from medical problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and hepatitis C, requiring them to urinate or defecate frequently, the suit says.
		The three inmates, and other inmates, were frequently threatened with being sent to the hole, a disciplinary isolation cell, for complaining about lack of toilet access or banging on their cell doors when they weren't released to go to the bathroom after pressing the buzzer, the suit says.

	Suicide watches by inmates benefit all
		Junker and his team selected inmate observers from a group of inmates that work and live at the medical center, but who are not mentally or physically ill, Junker says.
		The inmate observers did not have access to the patient records and were instructed that their job was to observe, not counsel.
		For psychotic inmates on suicide watch, the average number of hours spent under watch dropped significantly when inmates were doing the watching, from about 100 hours with staff observers to about 65 hours with inmate observers, Junker says.

	Pasco: Inmates locked down for 6 days
		LAND O'LAKES -- A group of 42 inmates at the county jail were locked in their cells for six days after authorities said they swore at corrections deputies, refused to be quiet and hurled their meal trays into the common area.
		The inmates living in that area of the county jail are classified as light-to-medium security prisoners who are either awaiting trial or serving a sentence of a year or less, Doll said.
		All inmates are often locked down for an hour or two during daily head counts, but a disciplinary lockdown means inmates stay in their cells 24 hours a day, and are allowed shower privileges every 72 hours.

	USATODAY.com - Elderly inmates swell prisons, driving up health care costs (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The rapidly aging prison population is attributed to a number of factors: the graying of the baby boom population; tough-on-crime measures that impose longer sentences and mandatory terms; and an increasing number of older people being convicted of sex crimes and murder.
		Florida is opening special units for elderly inmates at five of its prisons to consolidate medical services and situate the prisoners near big-city hospitals.
		Prison officials say 74% of the state's elderly inmate population is incarcerated for violent offenses — mostly sex crimes or murder — with about 30% serving life sentences.

	The Post-Searchlight - County jail to house Fulton inmates
		Revenues from housing the Fulton County inmates will be deposited into the county’s general fund along with the approximately $300,000 in revenue the jail makes each year from its commissary, pay phones, the housing of other local governments’ inmates and special transportation charges, he said.

		Inmates from Bainbridge and Decatur County will be housed separately from those from Fulton County, she said.
