A new report finds there are high rates of sexually transmitted diseases among people arrested in Maricopa County. The report was conducted in partnership between the Arizona Arrestee Reporting Information Network and ASU's Center for Violence Prevention and Community Safety.

Among the findings: Male arrestees were 23.7 times more likely than the general population to be infected with chlamydia and 54.4 times more likely to be infected with gonorrhea. Female arrestees were infected with chlamydia at a rate 14.5 times the general population and were 80.6 times more likely to be infected with gonorrhea.

Left untreated, these STDs can lead to serious infections, infertility and neonatal transference.

    Oh ya right CG Dem or whoever you really are we really buy what you and your first comment has to say? lol Why who wouldn't believe you when you say prison inmates fit in perfectly with tea party rallies. lol you couldn't be more laughable if you tried. So vote democrat isn't proper English professor? Ya us limpbut followers are hapless fools who do what we tolded ta do. 90% of prison inmates fit in at gun clubs? lol Not here in Arizona. Are you from Calimexico? That could explain your cornfusion lol.

    What does the statement "9 out of 10 criminals that vote, vote democrat" have to do with level of incarceration? Many criminals haven't ever been convicted. Of those who are, it's usually for a misdemeanor conviction. Felons shouldn't ever be released from prison. Let the scum rot there.

    Speaking of the uneducated, the phrase "vote democrat" is meaningless to those of us who understand and properly speak the English language. I know, it's a favorite phase of repub leader Limbaugh, and his hapless followers cannot help but to do as told. I work in the prison system, and I can assure you that 90% of them would fit in perfectly at your gun clubs or tea bag rallies. Sterilize away for a better tomorrow!

    NBTT, I agree with most of your post, but:

    "9 out of 10 criminals that vote, vote democrat"

    Criminals (convicted felons) cannot vote, nor can they legally own a firearm.

    You of all people should know this.

    NBTT,
    I couldn't agree more. Sterilization to prevent them from infecting the rest of the world with their offspring.

    What do you expect ? These people are not Boy or Girl Scouts. They didn't get arrested for scamming Girl Scout Cookies.

    Treat them the same as the Humane Society treats strays........exactly the same...especially Illegal Aliens...that would sure put a dent in the ..."anchor baby" population of Arizona.

    Ok, ok I know some of you democratic liberals are going to say that my previous comment was not unlike what Adolph Hitler might have suggested, but consider this, 9 out of 10 criminals that vote, vote democrat. lol Another very good reason to sterilize the prisoners before turning them loose.

    So? Jails are filled with people who tend to smoke too much, drink too much, use illegal drugs, beat their wives, and any other vices you can think of. Their average education level is as low as their collective IQ's. While were in there curing their ills, how bout sterilizing them too. That sure would cure a lot of continuing problems since uneducated criminals tend to beget uneducated criminals.
