As you said, one of those recommendations related to screening the inmates for diseases. Most of the time, inmates are aware of their health status. If they assault a correctional officer, they know that, in order to avoid any risk, that officer will have to be treated against AIDS or other infectious diseases, the nature of which I leave to your imagination. They also know that this will create anxiety and anguish for the officer himself and for his family. If they know that they have an infectious disease, their assault was aimed at harming the officer. The point is not to screen the inmates for diseases, because that information is probably already in their files. If an inmate has AIDS, I suppose that that information is already in the medical file. So, the solution recommended by correctional officers is that they have access to those medical files.
