It is a public health issue, which means it will eventually effect you and me. If not by infected prisoners being released into the population, in the cost of health care treatment to these people in the future. Unless, of course, people are advocating that these people shouldn't be treated for disease because they're criminals?

This thread should be less about morality and more about practically. People say this will do nothing to fix the problem, but does it make it worse?

I agree that the topic is about practical solutions. I believe that handing out condoms will not help curb the spread of the disease, and is a stupid non-gesture by idiotic politicians grand standing. But, quarantine will. To me (a farm boy) it's pretty simple. You need three groups; recent arrivals, infected, and uninfected. You keep the recent arrivals in single bed cells, and during group times you supervise them very closely to prevent any fraternization. When tests come back, and/or quarantine period is over you move the infected and the clean into their respective populations.
