back in July of 2002 there were several articles in the Phila. inquire regarding HCV in N.J. prisons. spanning from 7-21-02 to 10-31-02. the most recent 10-31-02 article states that inmates will get care for hepititis. since i was in those articles because an inmate was in my health class and i gave him medical records i was banned form working within the prison system in the entire state of new jersey. I would like to know if anyone out there knows if these guys are actually get the promised treatment.
