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.
You can count
