Summary
"The past few decades have witnessed a significant increase in the number of ex-prisoners returning to communities nationwide. Often overlooked are this population's physical and social-behavioral health concerns and, consequently, the role that health care plays in influencing the success of reintegration. The prison population is disproportionately sicker than the U.S. population in general, with substantially higher rates of infectious diseases, serious mental illness, and substance abuse disorders - trends that are mirrored in California. To address the related public health challenges, it is necessary to better understand the health care needs of these former inmates and the capacity of the health care safety net in the communities to which they return. The first phase of this study used a variety of approaches to assess the health care needs of California prisoners upon their release, the geographic distribution of state prisoners who return to local communities, and the health care services that are available in these communities. A statewide analysis of data from a survey of inmates, geocoded corrections data on California parolees and cluster analysis, and a focused analysis of the four counties in which nearly one-third of California parolees reside (Alameda, Kern, Los Angeles, and San Diego) provide policymakers with a picture of communities' capacity to meet the needs of parolees and other underserved populations." --From publisher description.
