Partners in Public Health Series

To a great extent, the physical and mental health problems of inmates originate in the community. Although correctional health care focuses on the patient, because the vast majority of inmates are released it can also have a great impact on the public health through reduced disease rates, financial savings, improved public safety and better use of health care systems and resources. This series will explore models and practices that strive toward a comprehensive approach that includes early detection and assessment, health education, prevention, treatment and continuity of care.
