Prison Health: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals

Prisons are supposed to be places of punishment, not places where people go to die. But the reality is that the American prison system is a breeding ground for disease, both physical and mental.

In this groundbreaking book, Pasquale De Marco takes an unflinching look at the health crisis in prisons. Pasquale De Marco draws on years of research and interviews with prisoners, prison staff, and healthcare professionals to expose the shocking conditions that exist in many prisons and jails.

Pasquale De Marco reveals that prisoners are often denied basic medical care, including access to life-saving medications. They are also subjected to unsanitary conditions, overcrowding, and violence. As a result, prisoners are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases, infectious diseases, and mental illness than the general population.

The health crisis in prisons is a human rights crisis. Prisoners are entitled to the same standard of care as anyone else in society. However, the reality is that they often receive substandard care, if any at all.

This book is a call to action. It is time for the United States to invest in prison healthcare and to ensure that prisoners have access to the same quality of healthcare as everyone else.

Prison Health: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals is a must-read for anyone who cares about the health of our communities. It is a powerful indictment of the American prison system and a call for change.
