Abstract

Jail and prison screening procedures have primarily been developed to prevent transmission of communicable diseases, protect staff, and mitigate individual bad outcomes. Detention and incarceration are otherwise opportunities to impact public and individual health by offering evidence-based screening to adult persons who do may not otherwise access routine preventive care. Given the dynamic exchange between correctional facilities and medically underserved communities, effective screening in jails and prisons is generally considered a cost-effective approach to improving population health and that of the incarcerated person.
