Youths who are detained or incarcerated in correctional facilities represent a medically underserved population that is at high risk for a variety of medical and emotional disorders. These youths not only have a substantial number of preexisting health problems, they also develop acute problems that are associated with their arrest and with the environment of the correctional facility. Although the availability of medical services varies by the size of the institution, established standards are, in general, not being met.
被拘留在惩教机构或被监禁的青少年是医疗服务不足的人群，面临着各种身心障碍的高风险。这些青少年不仅有大量先前存在的健康问题，还会出现与被捕及惩教机构环境相关的急性问题。尽管医疗服务的可及性因机构规模而异，但总体而言，既定标准并未得到满足。
