The chief county medical officer of health confirmed that Viagra had beenprescribed to at least two sex-crime inmates but defended the use of theanti-impotence pills. "An inmate is a normal individual who from time to time -- when on leave --wants to have functional sexual relations with his girlfriend or spouse,"Anders Smith said. "If they have a problem, they have the same rights as anyone else to gethelp," he told Reuters. The governor of Ila national prison near Oslo said he wanted moreinformation about the use of Viagra after a 42-year-old inmate, serving timefor incest, was prescribed the pill and later sexually abused his16-year-old son in the prison's visiting area. "We need a clarification of the situation. We need to know what's going on,"governor Knut Bjarkeid told Reuters. Under current rules, the medicalrecords of the inmates are confidential -- even to prison officials. Bjarkeid said he had sent a letter to the medical authorities that overseesthe health services of the prison's 115 inmates, asking for aninvestigation.Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest....
