This article examines incarceration as a chronic condition with social, biological, and psychological elements. We do so through the lens of "institutionalization," a concept that emerged during interviews conducted with 26 people incarcerated in Washington state prisons as a chronic and often disabling state resulting from prolonged incarceration. We argue that institutionalization helps conceptualize how the social inequities of mass incarceration become embodied as health inequities, and how social harms become physical harms. [prison, incarceration, institutionalization, chronic, inequality].
本文探讨了监禁作为一种具有社会、生物和心理因素的慢性疾病。我们通过“制度化”的视角来研究这个问题，这个概念是在对 26 名在华盛顿州监狱服刑的人进行访谈时提出的，他们认为制度化是一种慢性且常常使人丧失能力的状态，是由于长期监禁造成的。我们认为，制度化有助于理解大规模监禁带来的社会不平等如何体现在健康不平等上，以及社会危害如何转化为身体伤害。[监狱、监禁、制度化、慢性、不平等]
