The state health department does not count offenders cases from where the offender is housed, only from the Huntsville office that reports them. This is why the numbers look higher in Huntsville.

Finally added comment moderation for older posts because spammers would go into the archives and post on hundreds of them over the course of a day or two.

Last I heard, Nigeria has an extreme issue with HIV Enough so that there is US CDC Emergency Program operating in Nigeria to address the HIV epidemic. <br />I think the HIV numbers being higher in TDCJ facility areas could be more than coincidence. <br />@Tsikhelashvili Zurabi ...a commercial for some "Doctor's" herbal remedies??

This is one of the most abused federal statutes. Basically when a federal judge or prosecutor doesn't want to answer valid legal questions posed by state litigants(usually prose),they will just not them down with time-wasting "exhaustion" fights--basically we can't decide your case because you have not exhausted state remedies. Most prose litigants end up abandoning otherwise valid petitionsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
