Description:

Discussed in this brief: The extent and nature of public health/corrections collaborations in the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB, based on responses to the 1997 NIJ/CDC national survey of correctional systems and site visits to six States and five city/county jurisdictions.

Key issues: Correctional populations have higher rates of HIV/AIDS, STDs, TB, and more risk factors for these diseases than the general population. Virtually all inmates return to the community, where they may place themselves and others in danger by engaging in high-risk behaviors. Collaborations between public health and correctional agencies may help fill gaps in programs for the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB, thereby benefiting an at-risk and underserved population as well as overall public health.
