After-Care Programs for AIDS, STDs and TB Inmates

Paper Summary:

This paper closely examines, evaluates and compares several after-care programs for inmates with HIV/AIDS, STDS, and/or TB. In particular, the research attempts to answer the following question: Are in-prison and after-care programs for inmates with HIV/AIDS, STDS, and TB adequate in meeting their medical needs?

From the Paper:

"Implemented Continuum of Care Programs. A Rhode Island program is commonly considered to be one of the best continuum of care programs. The program, initiated by Brown University, Miriam Hospital, the Rhode Island Department of Corrections, and the Rhode Island Department of Health, provides care for inmates with HIV/AIDS in the correctional facility and continued care for them after their release. According to T.P. Dixon and associates (1993), the program includes about 40 community-based organizations and service providers, with comprehensive discharge planning and linkages to substantial community services, and is available to both HIV-positive inmates and high-risk but HIV-negative inmates."
