The Federal Correctional Complex, Terre Haute (FCC Terre Haute) is a United States federal prison complex for male inmates in Terre Haute, Indiana. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice, and consists of two facilities: *Federal Correctional Institution, Terre Haute (FCI Terre Haute): a medium-security facility with a Communication Management Unit which holds inmates who are deemed to require increased monitoring of communications with others.〔()〕 *United States Penitentiary, Terre Haute (USP Terre Haute): a high-security facility which holds federal death row for men and also has a prison camp for minimum-security male offenders.〔()〕 ==Gonorrhea experiments== The Terre Haute Prison Experiments in 1943 and 1944 were the precursor to the Syphilis experiments in Guatemala.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=“Ethically impossible” - STD Research in Guatemala from 1946 to 1948 )〕 In 1942, the sixth Surgeon General of the United States Thomas Parran, Jr. endorsed medical experiments on STD transmission so long as volunteers were found to be exposed to infection. In 1943, a decision was made to use prisoners as volunteers, as soldiers could not be guaranteed sexual abstinence for six months, and the mentally ill were not considered appropriate research subjects. Due to legal issues, the Army Medical Corps preferred federal prisons to state run institutions, and Terre Haute had the best medical facilities. Prisoners participated with consent, receiving $100 for their involvement. A 2011 US Bioethics report states: The infection methods used by doctors did not involve natural sexual intercourse, unlike in 1947 in the Syphilis experiments in Guatemala. Dr John Charles Cutler supported the experiment to his death. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federal Correctional Complex, Terre Haute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
