Husband does - his own

Responses to poll
I too think that they should be allowed to donate if they wish to and yes you cannot force any body to do any thing that they dont want to do. But with out sounding stereotypical many people who are in prison have used drugs in some way or may have or get aids, so may this rule people out. If the te...
