Good news for inmates who aren't already tattooed
By Scott Reycraft
Fri Nov 25, 8:49 AM ET
TORONTO (Reuters)- Canadian inmates can now get tattoos in
prison parlors under a pilot program aimed at cutting down
use of unclean needles and the spread of disease.
The Canadian government showed off its tattoo parlor program on
Thursday at a prison in Bath, Ontario, where it is being tested.
"The program has advantages in that we can take a practice that
already occurs, and make it safer," said Holly Knowles, a
spokeswoman for Correctional Services Canada. "We're trying to
reduce the amount of make-shift needles."
The government believes secret tattooing contributes to the
spread of disease in prisons because of the use of shared
needles.
Prison authorities say rates of hepatitis B and C among
prisoners are about 30 times higher than outside prison walls.
HIV rates are about 10 times higher.
To be eligible for the program, tattoo designs must be approved
by prison officials and must not be gang-related, or deemed
racist. Participating inmates must have a good prison record.
Prisoners are allowed a one-hour controlled session with an
inmate tattoo artist for C$5 (US$4.25).
Officials said that if the pilot project is successful, it may
be expanded to more prisons across Canada.

If we did, some corporate type would just "offshore" the jobs.
Imagine an Indian (dot, not feather) pretending to be a farmer from Kansas
in a phone interview with some media type. *snicker*
