Incarceration is a public health crisis that affects the health and well-being of incarcerated people, corrections staff, their families, and entire communities, resulting in increased rates of chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, and poor health outcomes.
The prison staffing crisis in the US has led to dangerous conditions for correctional officers, reduced rehabilitation efforts, and increased recidivism rates, and is expected to worsen unless significant reforms are implemented.
Mass incarceration is a public health crisis that harms the health and well-being of incarcerated people, corrections staff, families, and communities, and is disproportionately detrimental to Black people, with the impact of immigration detention only exacerbating the problem.
