RENO, Nev. (AP) - Nevada's prisons are discriminating against inmates with HIV under illegal segregation policies that deny them access to work programs where other prisoners earn credits to reduce the length of their sentences, the U.S. Justice Department has concluded.
Justice Department lawyers warned Nevada's attorney general this week they may sue the state under the Americans with Disabilities Act if it doesn't change the policies based largely on unfounded fears about the transmission of HIV.
