Answer to Question 1

Jails have high rates of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV, STDs, hepatitis, and the measles. Inmates also suffer from chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, renal/liver disease, and lung disease. Often times, inmates also have alcohol and drug addiction, which requires medical care when they enter jail and go through withdrawal. Pregnant inmates require prenatal care. Finally, many jail inmates are mentally ill and have suicide ideations.

Answer to Question 2

Larger jails now generally provide GED and adult basic education programs, drug and alcohol treatment programs, counseling, work release, inmate work programs, and inmate vocational programs. Jails are also required to provide religious services, some exercise equipment, and access to a law library for long-term convicted inmates. Jails are also mandated to provide adequate health care delivery systems.
