“…Privacy is necessarily limited in prison, and this may increase inmates’ reluctance to access health care, thus creating a situation in which the women refuse care to keep others from learning their medical diagnoses (Frank, 1999; Stoller, 2003; Rosen et al, 2004; White et al, 2006; Wohl et al, 2003.) Lack of medical privacy has been shown to be a barrier to ART adherence for the imprisoned; however, the right to medical privacy while incarcerated is controversial.…”

Factors Influencing Adherence to Antiretroviral Therapy for HIV-Infected Female Inmates

New HIV cases are increasing among women, especially women of color. Moreover, the rate of infection for incarcerated women is twice that of incarcerated men. With advances in medication therapy, HIV has become a chronic illness that can be successfully treated, provided the patient is able to achieve adherence with the prescribed antiretroviral medication regimen. Incarcerated women, however, frequently come from environments burdened with violence, substance and physical abuse, homelessness, child-care issues, and mental illness. Such burdens negatively affect the ability of these women to adhere to the medication plan. This study explored incarcerated HIV-infected women’s barriers to and facilitators of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART), the role of health care provider relationships in adherence, and the ways in which issues of medical privacy influence ability or desire to adhere while incarcerated. A secondary analysis of an existing set of qualitative interviews with HIV-infected female inmates was conducted.

“…While spaces of detention and imprisonment have traditionally been conceptualised as environments of fixity and stability (Turner and Peters, 2016), carceral geographers have increasingly begun to consider the scalar mobilities involved in incarceration (see Gill, 2009;Moran et al, 2012Moran et al, , 2013Peters and Turner, 2015;Stoller, 2003;Turner and Peters, 2016), and that movement can indeed be a form of control (Foucault, 1991). As Moran (2015) notes the focus of the early empirical work in geography examined mobility in terms of access to or exclusion from it, and that such an approach presents mobility as an ontological object, rather than a characteristic.…”

ArticleThe orphanage as an institution of coercive mobility Tom Disney University of Nottingham, UK AbstractThis article reconsiders children's mobilities through the relationship between care and control in the context of Russia's disability orphanages. Drawing upon the lens of carceral mobilities, the article challenges the dominant conceptualisations of children's mobilities as 'independent' or necessarily intertwined with notions of 'wellbeing'. Instead this piece draws upon ethnographic research into the Russian disability orphanage system to present three typologies of multi-scalar carceral mobilities which children experience in this context; firstly as a form of spatial segregation and containment, secondly as a form of punishment and finally enforced stillness and restraint as a form of care. In doing so it provides new insights into the nature of the everyday for children in restricted institutional environments, largely absent from the wider geographical literature. Through the lens of carceral mobility this article provides a more nuanced geographical reading of the orphanage beyond an environment variously understood to harm or problematically to provide shelter, but as an institution enmeshed in biopolitical processes of power and control.

“…Part of the variability in access to and utilization of healthcare within the prison system may be a result of a loss of control among prisoners within an organizational culture that is created to depersonalize interactions and to promote a perception of the incarcerated as "a permanent criminal" among prison staff (Stoller, 2003(Stoller, , p. 2264. As Stoller (2003) explains, the prison system tends to be set up as an "anti-place" in which the "regulatory construction of prison naturalizes the prisoner as a depersonalized unit, teaching both the staff and the prisoner that this hyper-management and loss of agency is normal within the walls of this total institution" (p. 2264).…”

“…As a result, the staff becomes legitimized in providing healthcare that is not at a similar standard to that provided in the broader community. Through this process, the incarcerated woman "becomes more of an object to manipulate and less of a person in a relationship" (Stoller, 2003(Stoller, , p. 2274. Clearly, the provision of harm reduction programs within a largely depersonalized prison healthcare system may be insufficient to meet the needs of women in prison, particularly where such perceived and actual barriers to accessing such programs remain unchallenged.…”

Applying the principles of harm reduction within the context of incarcerated populations raises a number of challenges. Although some access to harm reduction strategies has been promoted in general society, a divide between what is available and what is advocated continues to exist within the prison system. This paper explores the perceptions and lived experiences of a sample of nationally incarcerated women in Canada regarding their perceptions and experiences in accessing HIV and Hepatitis C prevention, care, treatment and support. In-depth interviews were conducted with 156 women in Canadian national prisons. Q.S.R. Nudist was used to assist with data management. A constant comparison method was used to derive categories, patterns, and themes. Emergent themes highlighted a gap between access to harm reduction in policy and in practice. Despite the implementation of some harm reduction techniques, women in Canadian prisons reported variable access to both education and methods of reducing HIV/HCV transmission. Concerns were also raised about pre-and post-test counseling for HIV/HCV testing. Best practices are suggested for implementing harm reduction strategies within prisons for women in Canada.
