The Alabama Department of Corrections has expanded to all inmates a re-entry program that provides newly released inmates with HIV/AIDS “with information on obtaining licenses [and] other documents and preparing for returning to life outside prison,” the AP/USA Today/Montgomery Advertiser reports (Hunter, 7/22). “In the past, prisoners at the end of their sentences were sent back into the free world with minimal assistance, not the in-depth services the inmates with HIV and AIDS had received,” according to AP/WZTV.com. The expanded Alabama Prison Initiative will allow all inmates to enroll in classes that provide them with “practical tips” and guidance “that will hopefully help keep them from returning,” the AP/WZTV.com reports (7/22). AIDS Alabama CEO Kathie Hiers said, “We’ve seen it help so much in the HIV community. They’re smart to take a good program and expand it” (Hunter, 7/22).
