It can be easy for most men to ignore this sort of issue, since we don't have to deal with this aspect of hygiene. But for one, we all know that blood can be a biohazard, and it is important to keep things sanitary. More than that, however, it is a humanitarian issue. If innmates were not provided with general first-aid supplies on demand, for instance, it would clearly be baseless and needlessly dehumanizing. Both in the interest of public health, and on moral grounds, this change should be given full support.
