    This inmate bit him and then screamed out “ I have hepatitis C”. The inmate spit on everyone around in an attempt to spread hepatitis. And yet so many people think the staff members are the bad guys.

    Sounds like a classic case of biting the hand that feeds you.

    What kind of drugs are these prisoners being given? What is making so many of them so violent? Guess the expense of duck tape to cover their mouths will be next.
    Sorry about this Officer,
