    I cannot agree with this decision. Hep C is deadly and I lost a close friend to it several years ago. Untreated inmates will simply pass the virus to other inmates and citizens once they are released.

      Also to your point:

      Belzley said what was particularly irritating about the majority decision was the plaintiffs presented “undisputed evidence” it would cost taxpayers less to treat infected inmates in prison than to wait until they are released. Meanwhile, they would infect others before finally receiving treatment.

        Depends on how many are getting out...
