Answer to Question 1

The majority of states integrate HIV-infected inmates with the general population. A few states separate HIV-infected inmates into separate areas to reduce the likelihood of transmission. Prisons face issues of notification to officers, other inmates, or past partners. Many prisons provide programs informing inmates about the risk of unsafe sex and drug use. Prison personnel take extra precautions with treating inmates with HIV/AIDS. Some prisons test all inmates for HIV upon release from prison. Others provide condoms for inmates during incarceration and peer educators to provide correct information to prisoners.

Answer to Question 2

Civil commitment facilities are another way of protecting the community from those sex offenders who are labeled sexually violent predators. When a person is convicted of a sex offense, he or she typically receives a prison sentence. When the offender is nearing release, the state has the opportunity to file a petition to have the offender involuntarily and indefinitely committed to a mental institution or correctional facility that blends corrections and mental health. Offenders can only be labeled as sexually violent predators by a mental health professional and by having a probable cause hearing. The majority of sex offenders who are civilly committed are never released from the institution.
