US Citizen Quarantined For Life

(www.azcentral.com)
A young man sits in a locked room in the detention ward at Maricopa Medical Center, under sheriff's guard. He is not allowed a TV a cellphone or visitors. A video camera catches his every move. He has been isolated here for eight months and is expected to remain much longer, perhaps until he dies. But Robert Daniels is not charged with any crime.

Right where he belongs !!!!!!!!

But Robert Daniels is not charged with any crime. He has tuberculosis. And he is under court-ordered confinement because he violated the rules of voluntary quarantine, exposing others to a potentially deadly illness.

Daniels is afflicted with a TB strain so dangerous that he has never met his appointed lawyer, Robert Blecher, who describes the situation as "extremely unusual."

"Mr. Daniels' problems occurred - and he understands this - because of his own actions," Blecher said. "It does come down to a health issue for the entire community. He did go out in the public. He was exposing people."

He is a threat to society. He should stay there until he is better then charged or until he dies.

There's no TV because he isn't a prisoner, silly.

If he was a prisoner he would get cable TV, internet access, a library, gym, spa treatments, a paycheck and maid service.

Jack McIntyre, a sheriff's spokesman, said sympathetic nurses gave Daniels a computer, a phone and other items for a time, but those were confiscated for security reasons. "While he's there, we treat him as an incarcerated individual," McIntyre said. "It's a jail ward."

Thats why. This county doesn't let thier prisioners watch TV.


Look at the wackjob comments on the story... only one or two sane ones...
