People who experience imprisonment have worse health status than other Ontarians - about 40% lack access to primary care in the community, and the period after release from prison is associated with high risks of adverse health outcomes. Population-based correctional and health administrative data suggest that access to quality healthcare in prison and in the community needs to improve if we are to improve population health and deliver on healthcare obligations to people experiencing imprisonment.
与其他安大略人相比，有过入狱经历的人的健康状况更差——约40%的人无法获得社区初级医疗服务，出狱后的一段时间内出现不良健康后果的风险很高。基于人群的惩教和健康管理数据表明，如果我们要改善人口健康状况并履行对有入狱经历者的医疗保健义务，就需要改善监狱和社区中优质医疗服务的可及性。
