People with AIDS in Prison
Prison Conditions for people with AIDS
Mary Lucey served 18 months in Frontera Women’s Prison, now called the California Institution for Women. It was here she saw the reality of what people with AIDS (PWA) in prison face. If you were incarcerated in California and testing HIV+ you would be placed in a segregated unit, lose access to work and study programs (losing access to work programs means losing the opportunity to reduce your prison time), be denied overnight visits with spouse or family, receive inadequate medical care, and face increased violence from prison staff. Incarcerated people who suffered from AIDS would die twice as fast as those who were not incarcerated with AIDS, and had no incentive to get tested.^[1]Mary’s efforts and ACT UP/LA’s protest of the conditions for prisoners with HIV and AIDS led to the compassionate release of Judy Cagle, a woman with AIDS near the end of her life.
