TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - The Irony of Prisoner Health Care JO - American journal of public health A1 - Viola, Deborah A1 - Maschi, Tina A1 - Shi, Qiuhu SP - e9 EP - e9 VL - 103 IS - 11 N2 - We read with great interest the article by Woods et al.(1) The emphasis on a framework that considers a comprehensive list of factors and strategies necessary for successful community reintegration for formerly incarcerated individuals is critical if we are to lower recidivism rates. We question, however, what the authors suggest are best practices for "continuity of health care" and whether this can be attained for racial and ethnic minority individuals upon reentry.
