investigating the state of health & wellbeing in U.S. prisons.

Health. Care. Incarcerated. explores pressing health issues and how underlying philosophies about human worth and punishment drive decision-making within a carceral environment. By weaving together perspectives from incarcerated people, medical and legal experts, and prison staff and administrators, this work stands out as a unique resource for understanding the human impact of two complex worlds: prison and healthcare. Their respective priorities are at odds, and yet they coexist. Health. Care. Incarcerated. aims to raise our collective consciousness by bringing these stories out of the shadows and into the light where we can affect change.
