Sir Elton John's Op-Ed in Washington Post Supports ACLU's National Prison Project

Sir Elton John's Washington Post op ed on September 16, 2012, in support of the ACLU's National Prison Project's work to get decent treatment of HIV+ prisoners earned the Atlantic Montlhy's selection as one of the five best columns of the day. How we treat those we incarcerate -- and certainly those behind bars with HIV and other serious illnesses -- is one of the best indicators of how much we value human rights, and the extent of the violation of those rights we are willing to tolerate as a society. Bravo, Sir Elton, for shining a light on the plight of prisoners with HIV in Alabama and South Carolina.
