AIDS THE LOST VOICES
Mark Warren Hearne was diagnosed with AIDS in 1988 at 22 and told he had three months to live. From a single report of his inquest in London we work back to learn more about Mark’s life. Learning in 1992 he was convicted of robbery and sentenced to five years. While at HMP Camp Hill he was admitted to St Mary’s Hospital with an AIDS-related illness; with his guard stood down, he escaped and the UK was put on alert.
AIDS, THE LOST VOICES
Will & Gloria stumble across prisoner Del Sinclair, who in 1985 featured in a national newspaper declaring he intended to ‘go straight’ and even publish a book on Prison food. However, 4 weeks later and back on remand Del tested HIV positive and faced threats of violence from other inmates. The pair also uncover several accounts of gay men who were denied post-mortems on the ‘suspicion’ of having AIDS.
