09/12/2007
Description:
The prison population is growing at a record pace—over 7 percent annually—but for the first time, it’s graying even faster. The Department of Justice estimates that by the end of next year the U.S. prison population will exceed 2 million. And like society at large, prisoners are getting older, sicker, and more costly to care for.
“We are seeing more and more elderly prisoners, and it’s going to extend out for the foreseeable future,” said Rebecca Craig, MPA, RN, past president of the American Correctional Health Services Association. “We are going to see entire prisons getting licensed as acute care settings.”
