Condom Machines for Inmates in S.F. Jails Could Serve as Model for State

It's illegal for inmates to have sex in prison. But of course, it happens. And when it does, it can lead to the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Now, under a bill signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, California will develop a plan to make condoms available at all state prisons within five years. For guidance they might look to San Francisco, which decades ago became one of the first counties in the nation to provide free condoms to jail inmates. We visit San Francisco's central lock-up to find out how the program has worked.
