Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee on Prisons: Interim Report to the 1987 General Assembly of North Carolina The Special Committee on Prisons was established by Lieutenant Governor Jordan and Speaker Ramsey in December 1985. The letters authorizing the original Committee instructed it to I) examine the various prison units located throughout the State and report on what should be done to upgrade the physical facilities to meet federal guidelines, if any, and, 2) review the overall corrections system to identify problems resulting from overcrowding, pending litigation, and other issues pertaining to the operation of prisons in North Carolina. The Committee was instructed to work with the Attorney General, the State Auditor, the Department of Correction and other State agencies involved in programs affecting the prison population. The Committee submitted to the 1986 Session of the General Assembly an Interim Report which contained specific recommendations for program and capital improvements. A second report contained additional recommendations for consideration by the 1987 Session of the General Assembly. In October, 1987, Lieutenant Governor Jordan and Speaker Ramsey reauthorized the Special Committee on Prisons.

Over the past four decades, the rate of incarceration in the United States has skyrocketed to unprecedented heights, both historically and in comparison to that of other developed nations. At far higher rates than the general population, those in or entering U.S. jails and prisons are prone to many health problems. This is a problem not just for them, but also for the communities from which they come and to which, in nearly all cases, they will return. Health and Incarceration is the summary of a workshop jointly sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences(NAS) Committee on Law and Justice and the Institute of Medicine(IOM) Board on Health and Select Populations in December 2012. Academics, practitioners, state officials, and nongovernmental organization representatives from the fields of healthcare, prisoner advocacy, and corrections reviewed what is known about these health issues and what appear to be the best opportunities to improve healthcare for those who are now or will be incarcerated. The workshop was designed as a roundtable with brief presentations from 16 experts and time for group discussion. Health and Incarceration reviews what is known about the health of incarcerated individuals, the healthcare they receive, and effects of incarceration on public health. This report identifies opportunities to improve healthcare for these populations and provides a platform for visions of how the world of incarceration health can be a better place.
