About the edition:
While there is a growing evidence-based literature in topics related to correctional health, the direct translation of this knowledge into concrete policy recommendations is scant. This issue will present several evidence-based policy briefs developed by members of the University of California Criminal Justice & Health Consortium and others to fill that void and to exemplify how medical, social science and public health research can have a direct bearing on policy recommendations to improve correctional healthcare. Policy briefs should be problem and policy-oriented, analysis-driven, evidence-based, and should offer viable policy recommendations.
