Will Schwarzenegger sign prison condom bill?
Critics say distributing condoms will encourage sex between inmates

SACRAMENTO - Public health agencies and nonprofits would begin distributing condoms to California prison inmates under a bill sent this week to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a measure modeled after similar programs in other states and cities.

Democrats who support the effort said making condoms available will help control the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

"Everyone knows that sex happens in prison, and short of solitary confinement for all ... inmates, the state is unable to prevent it," Assemblyman Paul Koretz, D-West Hollywood, said in a statement...........

1. They should be giving prisoners each their own cells to reduce

...prison rape.

I don't think prison rapists are going to use condoms.

3. California, like many other states,

spends more on jails than on schools. One prisoner per cell is very expensive, and unless all contact is eliminated will not prevent sex between prisoners. Condoms, on the other hand, are cheap and effective in stopping the spread of STDs. Rape is just part of the problem. Sex will happen and most states simply refuse to provide access to condoms, thus guaranteeing the spread of STDs in prison.

A better question is why not provide condoms?

2. unable, or unwilling to prevent it?
