Oh pulease. Do you want to pay for 90 pct of the inmates to go to the hospital? Use your brains and not your attitudes.

Lets make sure those murders and child molestors are safe from the H1N1 flu...Screw the kids and people that have to work to take care of those children. This is nothing but a joke!

So can someone tell me what the chances are of them contracting the H1N1? Especially if the staff gets the shot.

As far as I'm concerned, if you are in jail, you have lost your public priviliges and should not get the vaccine unless there is some left after non-criminal tax paying citizens get theirs first. If there is some left, give it to them, but they certainly shouldn't be getting it, if soooo many others are waiting to get it.

Wow...This is unbelievable! Sure give what vaccine we have to the murders and the rapists...The hell with the rest of us who have a purpose in the world. They are probably in there for life and deserve to suffer. But hell...That's just like the government. The prisoners get is so darn easy where the rest of us work our butts off...And for what? To ... See Morepay taxes and give the prisoners even more. Sometimes I think life would be easier if I just went to prison...I mean why not? They get free room and board, free electricity, and free meals. Not to mention all of them who get to take classes and get their GED and get college degrees. So sure now lets protect them from the H1N1 and give them our vaccines too...Make things that much harder for all of us!

i think tht is good to give the vaccine to the inmates. If they don't give the vaccine to the inmates it would spread all around the jail, and the police men who touch the inmates may get sick from it and then it would to the police man's family and it would go on and on.

I think there are some children that are high risk that deserve the vaccine far more than the offenders do.
