Abstract

Key Findings of the 2002 Report Card
\n•\tAll Canadian governments are failing to provide the resources, leadership, and vision necessary to address, in a comprehensive and progressive fashion, the issues raised by HIV/AIDS, HCV, and injection drug use in prisons.
\n•\tThere is a lack of coordination and harmonization of HIV/AIDS prison programs and services across the country. The standard of care available to prisoners varies widely between jurisdictions, and often between institutions within jurisdictions.
\n•\tCondoms, dental dams and lubricant are still not available to prisoners in New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nunavut, and some institutions in the Northwest Territories.
\n•\tEven where they are available, they are often not accessible enough.
\n•\tBleach is only made available as a harm reduction measure in BC, Québec, and the federal prison system.
\n•\tNeedle exchange or distribution programs have yet to be piloted in Canadian prisons, although the experience with needle distribution programs in prisons in Western and Eastern Europe shows that such programs can be successfully implemented in prison.
\n•\tIn most jurisdictions, methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has become available at least to those prisoners who were on such treatment before being incarcerated. The only exceptions are PEI, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Nunavut, where MMT availability is also extremely limited or non-existent in the community. Alberta, however, will only allow methadone continuation for a maximum of thirty days.
\n•\tOnly CSC and BC have policies that enable prisoners to begin MMT while incarcerated. In addition, initiation is sometimes available on an exceptional basis in Quebec, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon. 
\n•\tWith some exceptions, provision of HIV and HCV prevention education for prisoners is poor. 
\n•\tIn many jurisdictions, HIV training for prison health staff is rare or non-existent.
\n•\tAll jurisdictions provide voluntary HIV testing through the prison health units. Anonymous HIV testing is available in BC, Saskatchewan, and Nova Scotia, as well as in some Québec institutions. Anonymous testing is also being pilot tested in two federal penitentiaries.
\n•\tSignificant barriers still exist in most jurisdictions to the optimal use of HIV combination therapies.
\n•\tThere are few HIV programs and services designed specifically for incarcerated women and for Aboriginal prisoners.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
