Essay from the year 2013 in the subject Social Work, grade: A, City University of New York Hunter College, language: English, abstract: The size of inmate population, accompanied by the complex health and social issues related to the experience of incarceration, has prompted scholars and epidemiologists to consider the current state of incarceration in the United States as a public health crisis.
