Answer to Question 2

o The majority of inmates are under 34 years of age but the number of inmates over the age of 55 has increased dramatically.
Older inmates will experience more health-related problems. Poor health is the cause of the majority of deaths of inmates. Corrections budgets are straining
o under financial pressures caused by health-care needs of aging inmates. It costs
three times as much to house an elderly inmate than a younger inmate.
Another factor in rising correctional health-care costs is the high incidence of
o mental illness in American prisons and jails. Public mental hospitals were closed in the 1960s, which led to an increase in the number of mentally ill inmates.
Prisons have essentially become the dumping ground for the mentally ill. Some
o studies estimate that nearly 56 of state prisoners suffer from some form of mental illness.
Correctional institutions are not designed to foster mental well-being and the
o prison experience often increases mental health problems.
