Prison Health

Prison health refers to the medical and mental health services provided to individuals incarcerated in correctional facilities. It aims to address their physical conditions, mental health concerns, and manage chronic illnesses, ensuring their well-being during incarceration. Proper prison health care is essential for preventing disease transmission, supporting rehabilitation, and protecting public health, especially when inmates are released back into the community. It involves regular health assessments, treatment, prevention programs, and coordination with external healthcare providers, all within the secure environment of the prison system.
