Remember, the key thing that was going on with her was that she was denied access to the law library, access to religious services, and she was also put in dangerous populations with the general inmate population, which placed her life at risk.
What happens when the system fails to protect the most vulnerable? In this gripping episode of 'Ms.B - Goddess of Empathy', former inmate Louise Nolley bravely opens up about her harrowing experience of HIV discrimination at Erie County Holding Center. From having red stickers plastered on her medical records to being isolated from other inmates, Louise faced a series of humiliations simply because of her HIV status.
But the indignities didn't stop there; she was also denied access to essential resources like the law library and religious services, stripping away her constitutional rights. Ms.B dives deep into the impact of New York state's confidentiality laws on healthcare and explores the legal battles Louise had to endure. This episode isn't just a recounting of injustice—it's a powerful call for empathy and understanding in the realm of addiction and recovery.
If you've ever wondered about the intersection of health, human rights, and the prison system, this conversation is a must-listen. Prepare to be moved by Louise's courage and resilience as she fights for dignity and justice.
