“Up to 15 per cent of incarcerated drug users report injecting heroin and Cocaine while behind bars.” No mention is made of that other main transmission vector for the AIDS-vausing HIV virus that prisons are reputed to be hotbeds of, of course.

Not entirely related, but concerning: 200,000 people live in Saskatchewan. Last year, the city of Regina handed out 2.5 million needles to drug users. Epidemic-much?
