The Health and Health Care of US Prisoners: Results of a Nationwide Survey
"We analyzed the prevalence of chronic illnesses, including mental illness, and access to health care among US inmates...
Among inmates in federal prisons, state prisons, and local jails, 38.5%, 42.8%, and 38.7%, respectively, suffered a chronic medical condition. Among inmates with a mental condition ever treated with a psychiatric medication, only 25.5% of federal, 29.6% of state, and 38.5% of local inmates were taking a psychiatric medication at the time of arrest, whereas 69.1%, 68.6%, and 45.5% were restarted on a psychiatric medication after admission.
Many inmates with a serious chronic physical illness fail to receive care while incarcerated. Among inmates with mental illness, most were off their treatments at the time of arrest. Improvements are needed both in correctional health care and in community mental health services that might prevent crime and incarceration." |
