“…The risk of death post-release was most elevated for young females, who experienced 20 times greater risk of death compared with age-and sex-matched peers in the general population. Among prisoners, females have particularly poor health, [15][16]32,34,42 suggesting that transitional services for ex-prisoners should pay particular All liver-related diseases…”

“…11 However, given the high prevalence of risky health-related behaviours among ex-prisoners, 12 patterns of mortality seen in the community may not be replicated among those leaving prison. For example, in the general population, agestandardised mortality rates are greater for young males than for young females, 11 but among those released from prison all-cause standardised mortality ratios are higher for females than for males, 5,13,14 probably reflecting sex differences in the prevalence of risky substance use 15,16 and mental illness 17 in this population.…”

Background: In the community, all-cause mortality rates among those younger than 25 years are considerably lower than those of older adults and are largely attributable to risk-taking behaviours. However, given the unique health profiles of prisoners, this pattern may not be replicated among those leaving prison. We compared rates and patterns of mortality among young and older ex-prisoners in Queensland, Australia. Methods

“…As a result, inmates are released to the community at high risk of returning to substance use. 12 Furthermore, members of the criminal justice-involved population have been traditionally marginalized by the medical community. Consequently, they may mistrust health care providers and entities such as health plans that seek to gather longitudinal information and detailed contact information about them.…”

People who have served time in US prisons and jails have high rates of undiagnosed chronic and infectious diseases, behavioral health conditions, and trauma. Because a large portion of this population are young men-a demographic previously underrepresented in Medicaid rolls-who have been uninsured, Medicaid payers and the managed care plans they contract with have little experience serving this population. To meet the Affordable Care Act's policy objectives of cost-efficient and effective care through improved and expanded access, health plans need to understand the epidemiology and care-seeking patterns of this population. Plans also need to develop outreach, communications, and engagement strategies and create service models designed to address these individuals' health care needs. Corrections departments and health plans should exchange information about the medical histories of people entering and leaving prisons and jails, promote models of peer support, and advocate for suspension rather than termination of Medicaid benefits during incarceration, so inmates can quickly regain coverage once they are released.

“…www.erudit.org Introduction L'état de la littérature scientifi que suggère qu'au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années, le taux de criminalité des femmes a augmenté dans plusieurs pays (Blanchette et Motiuk, 1996 ;Teplin et al, 1996 ; Criminologie, vol. 45, n o 1 (2012) o 1 Blanchette, 1997 ;Haywood et al, 2000 ;Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2001 ;Bell, 2004 ;Braithwaite et al, 2005 ;International Center for Prison Studies, avril 2008). De plus, dans certains pays, dont les États-Unis et le Canada, les femmes constituent une des populations dont le taux de croissance est des plus élevés du milieu carcéral tant fédéral que provincial, dépassant le taux de croissance d'incarcération des hommes (Trevethan, 1999 ;Harrison et Beck, 2003 ;Hartwell, 2004 ;Braithwaite et al, 2005 ;Société de criminologie du Québec, 2007 ;Lavoie, 2008a).…”

La présente étude trace un portrait des caractéristiques du fonctionnement social de 141 femmes incarcérées dans deux établissements provinciaux au Québec. L’ensemble des résultats suggère que non seulement certaines caractéristiques du dysfonctionnement social de ces femmes sont similaires à celles des femmes incarcérées dans d’autres établissements provinciaux au Canada et dans des établissements fédéraux, mais elles semblent présenter aussi certaines caractéristiques particulièrement problématiques pendant leur vie dans la collectivité et ce, dès leur jeune adolescence. Ces résultats suggèrent la pertinence d’élaborer des programmes d’intervention spécifique auprès de ces femmes afin de prévenir leur implication précoce dans un fonctionnement social criminalisé ainsi que le risque de récidive lors de leur retour dans la collectivité.This study characterizes the social functioning of 14 women incarcerated in two provincial correctional institutions in Quebec. The results suggest that these women share some markers of social dysfunction with women in other federal and provincial correctional institutions in Canada, and that their life in the community is problematic even in early adolescence. It would therefore be useful to develop specific intervention programs for incarcerated women that would prevent their early involvement in criminalized social environments and reduce their risk of recidivism upon return to life in the community.El presente estudio bosqueja las características del funcionamiento social de 141 mujeres encarceladas en establecimientos provinciales de Quebec. El conjunto de resultados sugiere que no solamente algunas de las características del disfuncionamiento social de estas mujeres son similares a los de las mujeres encarceladas en otros establecimientos provinciales de Canadá y de instituciones federales, sino que parecen presentar también ciertas características particularmente problemáticas en su vida en la comunidad, y ello desde su primera juventud. Estos resultados sugieren la pertinencia de desarrollar programas de intervención específicos para estas mujeres con el fin de prevenir su participación precoz en un funcionamiento social criminalizado, lo mismo que el riesgo de reincidencia una vez de retorno en la colectividad
