 | | Estimates that 4 percent of South Carolina's inmates are HIV-infected captured the attention of Michael Moore, the state's prison director. |
 | | The federal testing proposal was drafted originally to permit testing of prisoners and officers whose bodily fluids mingled in fights or other encounters such as "gassing," the inmate practice of hurling blood, urine and feces at guards. |
