E. coli sickens Colorado prisoners

Prison sucks. I know. Been there.

Worse, to have the runs while going to the bathroom without a door.

The Denver Post reports that three inmates of the Four Mile Correctional Center in Canon City have confirmed cases of E. coli.

Colorado Department of Corrections spokeswoman Katherine Sanguinetti said the outbreak was discovered Thursday. The three inmates are being treated at the infirmary at the correctional center.

Sanguinetti said that eight other inmates are suspected of being infected with E. coli.

The source of the infection is unknown.
