The impact of the United Nations "Healthy Prisons" initiative has
highlighted the importance of health and health promotion in
incarcerated populations. This invaluable book discusses the many
health and medical issues that arise or are introduced into prisons
from the perspective of both inmates and prison staff. Health and
Health Promotion in Prison places key issues in prison healthcare
into a historical perspective and investigates contemporary policy
drivers. It then addresses the significant legal issues relating to
health in prison settings and the human rights implications and
questions that arise. The book presents a useful framework for
health education in prison and a model for introducing structural,
policy and health-related changes based on the UN Health in Prisons
model, and also includes a special chapter on mental health issues.
Providing a comprehensive and thought-provoking overview of health
promotion issues in correctional environments, this is an essential
reference for all those involved in prison healthcare.
