Hi Everyone,

Just found your site today. I am wondering if anyon else has done advocacy work pertaining to the State of CT. I have been invloved in it for the past three years. The past year not as much since I go to school and work but the issue is basically the fact that there is serious medical discrimination in CT prisons. In short they medicate female prisoners with methadone when they arrive addicted to opiates. Men do not get this, if ANY medication at all. I have interviewd inmates and have met with prison officials. All to no avail. This IMO, is a class action lawsiut for discrimination. Anyone interested, send me an E-Mail. Thanks
