| Résumé : |
ENGLISH : In a European study of health problems arising in prisons, Tomasevski (1992) identified three critical, closely interrelated problem areas including substance abuse, mental health, and communicable diseases. In German prisons and in those throughout Europe, drug use and health problems are widespread. Injecting drug use that takes place in detention facilities is a very high risk activity that spreads communicable diseases like HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, STDs, or tuberculosis. The further spread of these diseases into the outside community occurs as prisoners are released, posing a serious threat to public health. The already high and, in some countries, rapidly rising levels of communicable diseases among prisoners clearly demonstrate that the health of prisoners (and prison staff) should be a matter of concern to the general public. The high turnover rates of prisoners serving short-term sentences tend to exacerbate these problems. (Author's abstract.) |
