Convict Criminology Panel #1: “Prison Experiences and Health”
Wed, Nov 16, 9:30 to 10:50am, A708, Atrium LevelSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract/Description
Incarceration is intimately linked to an array of mental and physical health outcomes. Papers on this panel center on experiences of imprisonment to explore nuanced dynamics of incarceration and health. Substantive areas examined include institutional misconduct, observations of death and dying, prison needle exchange programs (PNEPs), and in-cell cooking. These experiences are addressed using a variety of methodological approaches and underscore the varied health concerns of people confined to prison spaces. Taken together, these studies call for more research at the intersection of incarceration and health and highlight several possibilities for targeting health and well-being in prison.
