Swine Flu outbreak in Polk County Florida Jails.

Lakeland : FL : USA | 4 months ago

I was recently detained in polk county florida jail system. During my 30 hour stay there I was being walked down to a certain dorm room. I overheard a nurse saying to a correctional officer that Dorm 'C' has swine flu. To further my experience, I saw many inmates wearing face masks. I do not know if this has been reported by local news, but here it is. I know they are keeping the outbreak into one Dorm room. But what happens when these people are released? What happens when someone else ends up using their sleeping mats, or clothes, or pillow cases or other bedding (which are not washed properly). I feel really bad for the people that got stuck in there because one person had it and transmitted it to a few more, until they found out about it. Well be careful, don't go to jail anywhere.
