Subject: TOILET PAPER

The prisoners in Florida are going without toilet paper because the Dept. of Corrections' budget cannot afford to supply it. The prisoners are being told to "use your hands", which we know will breed more disease. Have you ever considered or would you consider donating toilet paper to the department to prevent the spread of diseases when the prisoners return to society? 6373244A

  TO Kimberly Clarke:  Florida needs a hand... 0o: 

Hi was wondering if you might help out the FL. Dept of Corrections with a little problem they are having.  As you see Gov. Bush has said that they do not have the money to supply inmates in their prisons with more then one roll of one (1)ply toilet paper to a 2 man cell for one week!   THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD TO USE THEIR HAND WHEN THAT RUNS OUT!  I was thinking you could send him a price list so that he may get a better  deal..

Something to think about... When a million or so prisoners are released into society, from what I understand, about 65% of them will carry contagious diseases like Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, and AIDS into our communities. And because we as a nation do not want to hire ex-offenders, We Will pay for their healthcare.

You know that we do not want to think about it, but it certainly raises your chances of dying from an epidemic outbreak of one of those diseases. Just think what is going to happen when these inmates come out of those prisons.. Not only that what of the families that have done nothing wrong that go in and see their loved ones that has been wiping themselves with THEIR HANDS coming out and holding their children, wives and mothers.. Should they have to deal with this also?!

Please Help to Prevent Diseases in Florida's Prison From Becoming Epidemics in Our Society Tomorrow!!!
