A couple of things i wanted to mention in the general direction of this topic:

Jefe, the only reason we were always told to check for bleeding was the possible risk of infection (i assume there was a few prisoners who had various contagious conditions). We also did regular TB tests, of which the odd one came back positive. Luckily when its a county jail/CO/detainer it doesn't go anywhere and neither does the news of it.

WFCY, when you stated that his status was fine, if you think this is bad then you're in for a shock. Where i worked for a couple weeks (i guess it was clerking or more of an internship) we had various folks awaiting deportation who had done nothing wrong. (Literally). They came from Eastern block nations (former states under oppression from the USSR) and got to our shores on approved asylum/refuge grounds. Some of those folks in their idiocy didn't apply for citizenship when they could and now we have relations with those nations the refuge/asylum status that they have been under on residency grounds are invalid and thus invalidate their legal status, and they get deported.

My advice to any Eastern European or any state we now have ties with like Libya is, if you haven't yet applied for citizenship and you came over 30 years ago on Asylum/refuge status, don't now try apply for citizenship if you have gone through the 5 year residency requirements, you won't get it and you'll be deported, try keep a low profile.
