BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho prison inmate says a doctor with the private medical care company Corizon Health told him to wash and reuse his disposable urinary catheters in a communal prison sink.

Corizon Health officials declined to speak about his case but say it's their policy not to re-use disposable catheters.
