Are Condoms Given Out at Gitmo?

My guess would be that the dwellers at Gitmo lead lives of condom-less detention. It's not that way in Philadelphia.

From Philadelphia Inquirer:

Philadelphia prison inmates would have greater access to condoms under a policy change being considered by city officials.

Among the changes being considered is the addition of condoms to the commissary list. That would both allow inmates to purchase condoms and send the message to prisoners and guards alike that they are a permitted item.

Prisons Commissioner Leon A. King II declined to discuss the issue yesterday, deferring to his spokesman, Robert Eskind. Eskind acknowledged discussions with activists had been ongoing, but said no decisions had been made.

Condoms are considered contraband in most other prison institutions because they can be used for smuggling. Philadelphia is more liberal in this regard, distributing about 8,000 condoms annually in the city jails. Since the average daily inmate population is more that 8,500, it seems that the authorities could be criticized for imposing unsafe incarceration on most of them.

Think about it. The arithmetic indicates that condom coverage is less than one condom per inmate per year. Of course, they might have some sort of community sharing program.
