Criminal charges have been laid on health officials and doctors in Kazakhstan due to negligence that led to an HIV outbreak. Blood transfusions from unscreened donors or possibly contaminated needles may be laid to blame. 84 children, most under the age of 3 have tested positive for HIV, 7 of which have already died from AIDS related diseases. 12 mothers have also tested positive since their children were diagnosed last summer.

Two inmates at the Edmonton Institution for Women tied the knot yesterday. Inside prison walls a small quiet ceremony was performed by a minister. This ceremony is the second of its kind in Canada. Two men were married in Ontario's Bath Institution in November 2006.

The wedding was performed by a minister and the women were allowed to be un-handcuffed and wear their street clothes. Unfortunately for the happy couple, they were not allowed to consumate the union. Prison policy prevents the inmates from spending the night in the same cell.

One of the inmates is serving a two year, nine month and 30 day sentence for assualt with a weapon, break and enter and aggravated assault. She will be released on November 18.

The other is in for the long haul. Six years for maunslaughter.

The union brings paranoia to the guards. They believe there should not be special priveledges for the two women.
