Lunchtime Panel Discussion
“The Structural Silo of Carceral Health Care:
Impacts on Patient-Prisoners’ Rights and Health”
This panel will explore the siloed nature of healthcare in the carceral system and its impact on the availability, accessibility, and quality of care during and after incarceration, including probation and supervised release. Panelists will discuss how certain characteristics of care in the carceral system — including a lack of regulatory oversight and the vesting of treatment decisions in corrections-based actors — shape the delivery and experience of treatment, and the constitutional "right" of incarcerated people to healthcare.
