本文探讨了监禁和健康功能之间的关系。利用全国青年纵向调查的数据，对监禁与20多种不同健康指标之间的关系进行了测试。使用多种分析程序，一种独特的关联模式出现了。有监禁史的人似乎更容易患上传染病和其他与压力有关的疾病。相比之下，没有观察到监禁状态和与压力或传染病无关的疾病之间的一致关系。结果表明，接触传染病和压力对于了解监禁对健康的持久影响很重要。
This article examines the relationship between incarceration and health functioning. Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the relationship between incarceration and more than 20 different measures of health are tested. Using multiple analytic procedures, a distinctive pattern of association emerges. Individuals with a history of incarceration appear consistently more likely to be afflicted with infectious disease and other illnesses associated with stress. In contrast, no consistent relationships were observed between incarceration status and ailments unrelated to stress or infectious disease. The results suggest that exposure to infectious disease and stress are important to understanding the lasting impact of incarceration on health.
