Abstract

HIV seropositive prisoners are located in Unit 5 of K Division in Pentridge Prison. Hamilton describes the operations of K Division in some detail. He attributes the successful management of seropositive prisoners to the introduction of a unit management regime as well as to a reverse integration policy.
