>The story is that someone close to the situation leaked details in violation of HIPPA on an internet message board. >And from a correctional facility, no less. The whole thing is a mess. I don't really see the problem here. You can't expect adherence to the law, or even upholding of basic human rights, from a correctional facility in America. Just look at how migrants have been treated lately in "detention centers" (concentration camps). As the other responder said, prison rape is treated as a hilarious joke in the US, and is condoned by correctional staff, so why would you expect adherence to HIPAA?
