That’s easy.

‘Nudge’.

Yes, it’s that simple.

Find ways in each and every single aspect of American law and life to take it all down, lower than the lowest common denominator.

It’s his job….. What he was brought in to do throughout the administration with every agency.

So there will be more room for the expected surge of incarcerations when the full range of ‘political crimes’ are defined in 2013.

Back in the day – before vaccines – there was such a thing as “quarantine”. Maybe someone in the Obama administration should look it up. It’s done to protect the overall health of a community, geniuses.

If a child has a fever, they aren’t allowed to go back to school and/or daycare until they have been fever-free for 24 hours. As most of us with working brains know, this is done to keep from infecting other children, who could then carry that infection back to their families. All this, for a simple case of the common cold.

Given the rate at which criminals are released from prisons these days, I would be willing to bet that just the THREAT of lawsuits from the general non-criminal public if so much as ONE person becomes infected with HIV/AIDS from a previously disease-free prisoner would make at least one lawyer in this administration more than just a little uneasy.

Of course, this group of mental midgets – whose combined IQ is lower than that of my 9-year-old daughter with Down syndrome – hasn’t thought that far ahead. Typical…..

I doubt a bunch of snobby DC lawyers have ever given much thought to how COs and, especially, their union would react to having unidentified HIV-positive inmates in the general population. COs are constantly assaulted with spit and other body fluids and materials and they REALLY want to know if the person doing the assaulting is HIV positive. If you have to restrain an inmate that is HIV positive, totally different gear and tactics are necessary to safeguard the CO.

I doubt there’s much CO unionization in SC, but the unionized states will be another matter altogether.

It’s a *right* to infect people with something that will kill them? Where’s the logic in *that*? Oh, that’s right! THERE ISN’T ANY. So… according to this “logic” (or lack thereof), if it’s a prisoner’s “right” to infect perfectly healthy people with HIV/AIDS, it should be my right to go cough on the entire produce section at Wal-Mart the next time I’ve got highly infectious, highly painful strep throat. Did I get that correct?

If that idea sounded stupid, that’s because it *is* stupid.

But since eastbaylarry was able to post before I was, suddenly his theory sounds… scarily plausible. But who’s going to be incarcerated then?

Is that what they want?

Available here at Human Rights Watch, found via this JURIST post. Apparently HRW and the ACLU are pushing DOJ on this. They’ve already successfully forced Mississippi to end its HIV segregation program. Only South Carolina and Alabama still have such programs.

Here’s the money quote to me, from the demanded modifications to policy:
“To eliminate discrimination on the basis of HIV, amend, implement, and maintain policies to eliminate the per se segregation of inmates with HIV to specific institutions and specific dorms and to house inmates with HIV based on classification and other criteria that do not discriminate on the basis of HIV or any other disability.”

Anyone have any insight as to how other states deal with this?

I was going to say that he is unqualified to hold any job at any level at DoJ, but that’s not quite true. There’s always the job of men’s room attendant.

But even that could be problematic, since a proper men’s room attendant needs to know the difference between dirty and clean, up and down, what to do with full trash cans, and that only one person at a time should be in the stalls. Could be tough for our man Holder to figure out.

In all seriousness, what sort of demented minds would propose ending AIDS segregation in prisons? Is this really the sort of insanity into which liberalism has morphed? It’s quite staggering, really.

Holder must go.

Planned Parenthood’s counseling that you have no obligation to tell a partner you are HIV positive. WTF is going on here?

..how far away is it from it being and infected persons “right” to not inform persons that they may put at risk who is not an inmate convicted by a court? I am a Nurse and I find this very disturbing not only because of the danger it puts the other inmates in, but also because of where it may lead; i.e. Not having to tell your doctor or medical professional about your condition.

after the trials for treason, the members of this regime not executed can be housed with the HIV-positive prisoners and lead the Kumbaya chorus sessions.

This is what happens when political activism and medicine and common sense collide. We definitely need political activism to decide medical policy. This should send shivers down our spines. This is why we must fight government healthcare.

As an example in the Emergency Department, the federal government via Medicare has decided that doing bloodcultures is necessary for all admitted patients with pneumonia, even though no studies show that these expenxsive tests–(about $200/test) actually improve outcome–except in severely ill patients who used to get the tests at their Doctor’s discretion. Now, one size fits all, and all patients admitted with pneumonia must have them-regardless of wwhether they actually clinically need them. But if they are not done, then it is considered substandard care and compensation will be held. So now there are millions of dollars being wasted on tests that make no clinical difference.

Welcome to Obamacare (Govt. run Healthcare), where one size fits all, and that size is not determined by the Doctor or patient, but rather by some nameless, faceless bureaucrat who is completely unaccountable.

Then EVERY inmate must be treated as HIV positive. Every CO will be trained in the PRESUMPTION of infection and all inmates will be treated the same.
Hermetically seal each inmate in a plastic bag, nothing sharper than a tissue to eat with and no contact.
It could also be used a a jobs program :
Build new prisons so every inmate is kept in a solitary cell so as to prevent infection. Engineers, concrete, steel and electrical union workers under a PLA
Hire more COs for the larger footprint of the institution.
More health care providers.

Did I mention the local taxpayers will have to foot those bills?

Today the prisons, tomorrow the hospitals, then maybe the schools, except of course the Sidwell School im Washington.
The revolutionaries in France couldn’t do better, hate more, nor be as doctrinaire.

I mean if convicted felons are allowed to vote etc why should they vote democrat anymore when the dems clearly put PC feelings above their lives.

Can any one tell me why this is happening. I read and read, only thing I can come up with is we lost the war on terro.r. We just weren’t told nicely.

things are “human rights”? Every day, we hear a new nonsensical human right being debated. Who gives this HIV right to humans? Forgetting the obvious lack of common sense in this move by the Obama admin, this makes no sense at all. Human rights come from the Natural Law upon which our laws are also based and from our Creator. These trumped up rights that the State is giving these days will only serve to hurt people and further move our society down the slippery slope of immorality and decline.
