This volume recognizes and addresses the health care issues of
prisoners, to establish best practices and to learn about
approaches to these challenges from around the world. It presents
new evidence on several emerging and classical prison health
issues. The first goal of this volume is to address emerging issues
related to health in prison. Second, it presents the most recent
research-based evidence and translates it to the practice. The
third goal, is that it allows for sufficient diversity while also
incorporating updates of some important already recognized prison
health. The volume discusses prisons and the life and well-being of
prisoners and staff, after growing problems as drug misuse (incl.
tobacco smoking), infectious diseases (HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, STIs
and TB), psychiatric problems, inadequate and unhealthy living
conditions (incl. nutrition), overcrowding of prisons. These are
addressed adequately in order to meet the international
requirements of equivalence of health care. The scope of this
volume is at the same type specific and diverse enough to cover the
interests of a large audience that includes many types of
practitioners involved in health-related issues in the field of
prison health care, such as psychologists, nurses and prison
administration officers responsible for health care, legal
professionals and social workers.
