Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Criminology

Background:

  • The American penal system has expanded dramatically, becoming a significant societal force.
  • Research increasingly examines the penal system's role in stratification and inequality.
  • A growing body of literature investigates the health consequences of incarceration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing research on the impact of incarceration on health outcomes.
  • To synthesize findings on individual, family, and community health effects.
  • To identify limitations and future research directions in this field.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies examining the relationship between incarceration and health.
  • Categorization of outcomes into individual (e.g., chronic conditions, mortality) and broader (family, community) levels.
  • Analysis of proposed mechanisms linking incarceration to health disparities.

Main Results:

  • Incarceration is linked to adverse individual health outcomes, including increased risk of chronic diseases and mortality.
  • The effects of incarceration extend beyond the individual, impacting the health of family members and communities.
  • Several biological, social, and psychological mechanisms mediate the relationship between incarceration and health.

Conclusions:

  • Incarceration represents a critical determinant of health across multiple levels.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand and address the health consequences of mass imprisonment.
  • Interventions targeting individuals, families, and communities are necessary to mitigate the health impacts of the penal system.
