Summary: Condoms In Jail (Press, 20 April 1987)

A pilot scheme has been initiated in New York City jails to provide condoms to homosexual prisoners as a measure to combat the spread of A.I.D.S. This decision reflects an acknowledgment from the prison authorities that, despite sexual activity being prohibited within the prison system, it continues to occur among inmates. Correction Commissioner Richard Koehler highlighted the reality of the situation, stating that it would be naive to believe that sexual activity does not take place at all in jails. The initiative aims to promote safer sexual practices and reduce the risk of A.I.D.S. transmission among the prison population.
