Judge Rules Alabama Cannot Segregate Prisoners with HIV
A judge has struck down Alabama’s policy of segregating prison inmates with HIV, ruling that it violates federal law.
U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson ruled Friday in favor of inmates who filed suit to end the longstanding practice. Thompson says the state’s policy violates federal disabilities law.
Thompson says the state and inmate attorneys will have time to propose a way to bring state prisons into compliance with his order.
