{"product_id":"public-health-behind-bars-robert-greifinger-9780387716947","title":"Public Health Behind Bars: From Prisons to Communities","description":"\u003cp\u003eProjecting correctional facility-based health care into the community arena, this book examines the burden of illness in the growing prison population, and analyzes the considerable impact on public health as prisoners are released. More than forty practitioners, researchers, and scholars in correctional health, mental health, law, and public policy make a timely case for correctional health care that is humane for those incarcerated and beneficial to the communities they reenter. These authors identify the most compelling health problems behind bars (including communicable disease, mental illness, addiction, and suicide), pinpoint systemic barriers to care, and explain how correctional medicine can shift from emergency or crisis care to primary care and prevention. In addition, strategies are outlined that link community health resources to correctional facilities so that prisoners can transition to the community without unnecessarily taxing public resources or falling through the cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Greifinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0387716947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780387716947\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2007 pg. 95","brand":"Robert Greifinger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44119651254527,"sku":"9780387716947","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aa0a1d15-8e99-40fd-9bcc-cc684ed79c8f.jpg?v=1687410292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/public-health-behind-bars-robert-greifinger-9780387716947","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
