Annotation

MODELS FOR JAIL HEALTH CARE DELIVERY ARE OUTLINED FOR VARIOUS SITUATIONS (JAIL POPULATION, LOCATION, ETC.) IN RELATION TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED, WHERE THEY MAY BE OBTAINED, WHO PROVIDES THEM AND WHERE THEY ARE DELIVERED.

Abstract

THE MODELS FOR THESE 'WHAT', 'HOW', 'WHO', AND 'WHERE' COMPONENTS ARE MERELY SUGGESTIVE OF THE POSSIBLE ALTERNATIVES. ELEVEN EXAMPLES ARE GIVEN THAT RANGE FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT OF HOSPITALS WITHIN LARGE JAILS TO CONTRACTED FEE-FOR-SERVICES ARRANGEMENTS THAT CAN BE MADE BY SMALLER JAILS.
