San Francisco County Jail installs condom machines for inmates
02:27 PM

San Francisco County Jail has installed 16 condom machines for the 75- inmates at its San Bruno lockup, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

The move is an extension of a safe-sex program that began in 1989 when health workers gave condoms to inmates as part of their counseling before their release, columnists Phillip Matier and Andrew Ross writes in the Chronicle.

Although sex among inmates in technically illegal, the paper notes, the sheriff's department decided to install the machines anyway.

Sheriff Michael Hennessey acknowledges that the decision "may be controversial," but says the larger health-education message is important.

The program is paid for by small grants.
