The point i'm trying to get across is that no matter how hard you try to ban tattooing in the prisons it will always happen one way or another. So we might as well find a safer alternative to the problem. My main text is an article about how even though there are repercusions to tattooing in prison it is still done. There is a high rate of HCV passed through dirty needles. If we tey to implement a program where they can get tattoos with clean and sterile needles and clean ink then that could possibly help with the spread. If you look at the cost of the program and then the cost to treat one inmate per year for the disease it all evens out. Hopefully my reader will look at both sides and not just what their already formed opinion is.
