The problem is not going to go

"McGinnis said. 'In my estima­

and "no one knows how big a prob­

want to test,"
According to the state Depart­
ment of Health's Disease Surveil­
lance Section, an estimated 1.5
percent to 2 percent of prisoners
test positive for the virus.
Michigan prisons only give an
