Approximately 15 million arrests were made in the United States in 1995, and the number of persons incarcerated has increased 72% since 1990. At any given time, approximately 567,000 persons are incarcerated in local jails (i.e., county or city correctional facilities housing persons serving short-term sentences or awaiting trial). The prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) among incarcerated women is high: syphilis, 35%; chlamydia, 27%; and gonorrhea, 8%. However, limited information is available about the extent of STD diagnosis and treatment services in correctional facilities. During July-August 1997, CDC conducted a survey of STD testing and treatment policies and practices in jails. This report summarizes the results of the survey, which indicates that most facilities treat for STDs based on symptoms or by arrestee request and do not routinely screen asymptomatic persons.
1995年美国约有1500万人被捕，自1990年以来被监禁的人数增加了72%。在任何特定时间，约有56.7万人被关押在地方监狱（即关押短期服刑人员或候审人员的县或市惩教设施）。被监禁女性中性传播疾病（STD）的患病率很高：梅毒为35%；衣原体为27%；淋病为8%。然而，关于惩教设施中STD诊断和治疗服务的范围，可获得的信息有限。1997年7月至8月期间，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）对监狱中的STD检测和治疗政策及做法进行了一项调查。本报告总结了该调查结果，结果表明，大多数设施根据症状或被捕者的要求进行STD治疗，且不常规筛查无症状者。
