Project Objectives

Assignment:
The United States incarcerates a higher percentage of the population than any other nation in the world. The cost to provide healthcare to inmates represents 20% or more of most states operating budgets. Inmates are, for the most part, less healthy than the non-incarcerated population of the US. This group engages in high risk behavior (e.g. drug use, violent behavior, unprotected sexual activity, etc.) at a higher rate than the general population and is less likely to seek medical attention prior to their incarceration.
Find two (2) journal articles relating to the rising costs to provide healthcare to inmates in correctional institutions.
The UMGC Library is an excellent source for journal articles.
