Beyond the classroom, Flanigan has directed the HIV care program at the Rhode Island state prison for two decades. He knows better than most Americans that no group is immune from the ravages of drug addiction and that controversial medical protocols for treating pain have brought this scourge to bedrock communities as well as inner-city neighborhoods.
