Description:
This 1996–1997 Update reports on the extent of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB among correctional inmates and on the policies and practices being implemented to prevent and control these diseases in correctional settings. In this report, statistics on the prevalence of HIV infection and AIDS in correctional populations are derived primarily from surveys conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) in 1996 Inmates and 1997. Findings regarding policies and practices and legal and legislative issues are based primarily on the ninth national survey of HIV/AIDS, STDs, and TB in correctional facilities, sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and conducted between December 1996 and August 1997.
