Prison health care: Population explosion

Article Abstract:

The national prison inmate population is nearly six times more as compared to the number in 1972, outpacing the overall population growth, and the steady increase in the U.S. prison population has resulted in overcrowded facilities. Prison health care has also become more expensive as diseases like HIV/AIDS and antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis have developed, the incidence of chronic ills like diabetes has increased, and health care for mentally ill and lower income group has continued to decline in quality and availability.
