Abstract
The focus of the American Medical Association (AMA) on health care for persons who are incarcerated was in response to the US Supreme Court's 1964 Cooper v Pate holding. This article summarizes key points from AMA work during the 1970s that led to further development of carceral care standards by the National Commission on Correctional Health Care.
