These are my notes from Dr. Mortisugu's talk. Dr. Mortisugu is the asst. The correctional environment is rapidly changing.
Inmates are older than a decade ago.
They are serving longer sentences, the number of females is increasing, the number of violent youth offenders are increasing. Individuals have not had the health care that mainstream America has. Many are or will become chronic. Most inmates coming in do not have a healthy behavior. Inmates are older, staying longer, sicker than the general public, lacking self esteem and lacking good health habits.
