The benefits of public health, corrections, and community-based organization (CBO) collaboration to meet HIV prevention needs of inmates are recognized. Each year over 100,000 inmates, most of whom have a history that put them at HIV risk, pass through the New York State (NYS) prison system. The NYS Department of Health AIDS Institute, the NYS Department of Correctional Services, the NYS Division of Parole, and a statewide network of CBOs collaborate to meet HIV prevention and support services needs of inmates and parolees through a continuum of interventions and services. This article describes the evolution of the prevention, supportive services, and transitional planning continuum within the NYS prison system. It identifies other agencies involved, obstacles to service delivery, describes approaches to overcome them, discusses ways to meet capacity building and technical assistance needs of CBOs, identifies challenges remaining, and provides practical advice from actual experience in NYS.
公共卫生部门、惩教机构和社区组织（CBO）开展合作以满足囚犯的艾滋病毒预防需求，其益处已得到认可。每年有超过10万名囚犯通过纽约州（NYS）监狱系统，其中大多数人有使其面临感染艾滋病毒风险的过往经历。纽约州卫生部艾滋病研究所、纽约州惩教服务部、纽约州假释司以及一个全州范围的社区组织网络通过一系列干预措施和服务开展合作，以满足囚犯和假释人员的艾滋病毒预防及支持服务需求。本文描述了纽约州监狱系统内预防、支持服务及过渡性规划连续体的演变。它确定了其他相关机构、服务提供的障碍，描述了克服这些障碍的方法，讨论了满足社区组织能力建设和技术援助需求的途径，确定了仍然存在的挑战，并提供了来自纽约州实际经验的实用建议。
