• Resumen

  • The article discusses the authors' views about the state of America's correctional health care system in the aftermath of the U.S. Congress' decision in 1965 to prohibit the use of the nation's Medicare and Medicaid health insurance programs to pay for health care services in America's jails and prisons (inmate exception). A call for prison reform is examined in relation to the repeal of the inmate exception and a push to boost community health and safety.
