Sanitary Supplies for inmates
 
I enthusiastically support providing free sanitary supplies in all bathrooms: prisons, public buildings, museums, libraries, and schools. These are as basic and necessary as toilet paper and should be treated in the same manner: as a need. Thank you for righting this wrong.
