There’s a lot to celebrate about progress on HIV prevention and treatment in communities around the world. That can’t be said about HIV in prisons. Thousands are sick or dying, and governments – and the AIDS movement – have in most cases utterly failed to protect prisoners. Ralf Jürgens, the founding director of the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and a longtime advocate for prisoners’ rights, speaks in this interview about the need to refocus attention on prison HIV, and recent progress on prison harm reduction programming.
