Prisons and Health in the Age of Mass Incarceration explores how incarceration undermines the health of people currently and formerly in prison. The book uses years of empirical research to show the intricate web of pathways through which mass incarceration also weakens the health and well-being of families, communities, and health care systems. It explores the social and legal forces that have made these connections possible, as well as the implications ofthe incarceration-health relationship for understanding and reforming about the justice system.
