Veto of California's Condoms in Prisons Bill: "Politics Over Public Health," Says AHF
Date:10/15/2007

."

Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Alameda counties account for 69 percent of all AIDS cases and 72 percent of all HIV cases in California. These counties also receive a high number of parolees from California state prisons. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Los Angeles and San Diego make up 37 percent of parolee destinations.

In 2005, Assembly Member Paul Koretz (D, West Hollywood) introduced and carried a similar version of the bill (AB 1677, also sponsored by AHF, APLA and SCHAC), which the Governor ultimately vetoed.
