Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Occupational Health
  • Health Equity

Background:

  • Incarcerated individuals often perform essential labor, increasing their risk of exposure to infectious diseases.
  • The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the vulnerability of incarcerated populations in congregate settings.
  • Prioritization for vaccines and healthcare is crucial for essential workers, including those who are incarcerated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine COVID-19 vaccine prioritization for incarcerated workers in the United States.
  • To assess adherence to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) occupational vaccine recommendations for this population.
  • To advocate for the prioritization of incarcerated workers' health.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of publicly available data from 53 US prison systems (November-December 2020).
  • Analysis of prison labor policies, essential worker roles, and off-site work assignments.
  • Comparison of state practices with CDC occupational vaccine prioritization guidelines.

Main Results:

  • All reviewed prison systems utilize incarcerated labor, with many resuming pre-pandemic operations.
  • Incarcerated workers hold essential frontline positions, including in healthcare, in at least five states.
  • No state followed CDC recommendations to prioritize incarcerated workers for COVID-19 vaccination.

Conclusions:

  • Incarcerated workers' essential roles and high-risk environments warrant vaccine prioritization.
  • Current practices fail to align with CDC recommendations, leaving essential incarcerated workers unprotected.
  • There is a critical need to prioritize the health and safety of incarcerated workers beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
