Now did he get this staph infection in prison or somewhere else? Does it matter? Prisons are crime schools and now they are the incubator for infectious dieases? Throwing large numbers of prisoners into a mass of germy steaming flesh and the breeding grounds for future dieases will spring forward from this black hole of Calcutta into mainstream as prisoners return home or walk the streets shedding new germs unto an unwary population. Clean up these damned places!

Im an officer who is currently out of work with the MRSA staff infection and there are a lot of officers who ae getting this staff infection and there is an officer right now who is fighting with the retirment board for a accidental retirement due to staff infection thst this officer contracted from the job and there needs to be a thorough investigation into this matter because there are a lot of officers getting this staff infection and some are very serious . please keep this email address confident because if she finds out that i emailed this to you through email she would be upset , I'am freind of hers and if this informationgets out to the state it could hinder ability in getting her retirement but the public need s to know and the state should be held accountible for this becuase , I worry about my relative and cncern that she could be the next person as sick as the correctional officer who is laying in Johns Hopkins Hospital right know because she is still dealing with the horrible staff infection!

It should be a requirement for prisoners to be clean, it should be a nice change of routine.

As a former deputy sheriff I can say this stuff was in prisons years ago. It was passed from Kalifornia prisons from illegal immigrants.

From what I hear from people working in law enforcement, sanitation in the jails is very poor. According to corrections staff, "very few inmates wash their hands after using the restrooms and a lot of them are sloppy in the way they use the restrooms" and they have a point. Influenza viruses can grow in certain places due to laxness in sanitation standards.
