Prisons and AIDS is the first book to offer critical information on
the proliferation of HIV and AIDS among prison populations and to
provide a much needed resource for the design and implementation of
education and prevention programs within correctional facilities.
Written by experts in the field - including lead author Ronald L.
Braithwaite, one of the foremost authorities on public health in
the United States - this comprehensive resource is grounded in
solid research, including survey information funded by the National
Institute of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control. The book
details numerous case studies from a variety of correctional
facilities that reveal compelling information on frequency of
sexual contact, drug use, needle sharing, tattooing, and the lack
of access to condoms among inmates. In response to the
disproportionately high incarceration rate of ethnic minorities,
the authors provide strategies for developing culturally sensitive
HIV/AIDS prevention programs in correctional settings. The book
also documents differences in the patterns of HIV/AIDS cases among
adult and juvenile and male and female inmates and explores
policies and programs relevant to these populations, including
education and prevention, testing and disclosure, partner
notification, and housing. Written for policymakers, researchers,
educators, health and human service providers, managers, and
administrators of correctional institutions and community-based
organizations, Prisons and AIDS provides the essential information
for making informed decisions concerning this growing public health
crisis.
