The health conditions of inmates are often worse than those of the general population. This paper compares the health conditions in and outside of the prison system based on diagnosed clinical pictures by providing reasons for more infections in prison as compared to what is found at outside general public, explanation of major diseases found among the inmates, and remedies that should be instilled in prisons to reduce the number of infections among inmates. The paper concludes that poor access to healthcare services, unhealthy living conditions, and high rates of risky behaviors in prisons contribute significantly to the spread of infections among inmates. The paper also recommends several remedies that should be implemented in prisons to reduce the number of infections among inmates, such as increasing access to healthcare services, improving living conditions, and providing education and resources for inmates to engage in healthier behaviors.
