          Abstract

          Aim:

          Prisoners are at risk from a range of health related problems, caused by a number of factors. This study was conducted to assess the impact of incarceration on oral health among the prisoners of Haridwar District Jail, Uttarakhand state.

          Material and method:

          A total of 573 inmates (534 males and 39 females) comprised the total study population. Oral health was examined with the Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, and by measuring pocket depth (PD) and clinical attachment loss (CAL).

          Results:

          The age of the study participants ranged between 18 to 90 years with a mean age of 46.14 ± 15.29 years. The overall mean DMFT score was 5.40±6.49, with a prevalence of 77%. A significant difference (P=0.001) was found when the mean score of DMFT was compared to the period of incarceration, where the highest mean score was 6.97±7.69 for 5-10 years.

          Discussion:

          There was a significant difference found for DMFT among inmates based on a period of incarceration. Gender and period of incarceration had no significant impact on the severity of periodontal diseases among jail inmates. Longitudinal studies are required to find out the causal association between incarceration and oral health. Comprehensive and timely oral health care is required for this vulnerable population.

          Conclusion:

          The level of oral disease among jail inmates was high. There was a significant difference for DMFT among inmates based on the period of incarceration.

          Resumen

          Introducción:

          Los reclusos corren riesgos de padecer una variedad de problemas relacionados con la salud, provocados por una serie de factores. Este estudio se llevó a cabo para evaluar el impacto del encarcelamiento sobre la salud dental de los reclusos del Centro Penitenciario (CP) del Distrito de Haridwar, en el estado de Uttarakhand (India).

          Material y método:

          La población del estudio consistió en un total de 573 reclusos (534 hombres y 39 mujeres). Se utilizó el ín- dice de dientes cariados, perdidos y obturados (CPO-D) para establecer la salud dental, y se tomaron medidas de la profundidad de las bolsas (PB) y la perdida de inserción clínica (PIC).

          Resultados:

          La edad de los participantes del estudio variaban entre 18 y 90 años, con una mediana de edad de 46,14 ± 15,29 años. La puntuación general del CPO-D fue 5,40 ± 6,49, con una prevalencia de 77%. Se encontró una diferencia significativa (P = 0,001) cuando se comparó la puntuación media de CPO-D con el periodo de encarcelación, en el que la puntuación media fue 6,97 ± 7,69 para 5-10 años.

          Discusión:

          Se encontró una diferencia significativa para CPO-D entre reclusos basada en el periodo de encarcelamiento. El sexo y el periodo de encarcelamiento no tuvo un impacto significativo sobre la severidad de enfermedades periodontales entre los reclusos. Se precisan estudios longitudinales para determinar la asociación causal entre el encarcelamiento y la salud dental. Se requieren además programas de salud y cuidados bucales integrales y oportunos para esta población vulnerable.

          Conclusión:

          Los niveles de enfermedades orales entre los reclusos fueron elevados. Hubo una diferencia en el CPO-D entre los reclusos según el periodo de encarcelamiento.

          Public health and the epidemic of incarceration.

          An unprecedented number of Americans have been incarcerated in the past generation. In addition, arrests are concentrated in low-income, predominantly nonwhite communities where people are more likely to be medically underserved. As a result, rates of physical and mental illnesses are far higher among prison and jail inmates than among the general public. We review the health profiles of the incarcerated; health care in correctional facilities; and incarceration's repercussions for public health in the communities to which inmates return upon release. The review concludes with recommendations that public health and medical practitioners capitalize on the public health opportunities provided by correctional settings to reach medically underserved communities, while simultaneously advocating for fundamental system change to reduce unnecessary incarceration.

              Linkages Between Incarceration and Health

              The dramatic expansion of the US penal system during the past 4 decades has led to an increase in adverse health conditions that affect an unprecedented number of individuals. This article first provides an overview of the literature on the immediate and lasting associations between incarceration and physical health, highlighting the diverse health conditions linked with incarceration, including health functioning, infectious disease, chronic conditions, and mortality. Next, we discuss potential explanations for the associations between incarceration and these health conditions, focusing on stress, contagion, social integration, and reintegration challenges. We then consider how medical and social science research can be combined to advance our understanding of these health conditions and suggest ways to reduce the negative association between incarceration and health, such as by improving prison conditions and medical care both inside prisons and after release.
