Abstract

The U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) prisoner population is diverse and includes immigration violators, fugitives that have evaded apprehension, perpetrators of Medicaid fraud, and parole and probation violators. Unlike state and local jails, the USMS has numerous housing options for its prisoners. Given the unique characteristics, federal prisoners’ quality of care, and subsequent clinical outcomes, may differ from those of state and local inmates. However, little is known about hospitalization rates and length of stay for HIV-positive USMS prisoners. The purpose of this study is to examine hospitalizations among HIV-infected prisoners in the custody of the USMS.

感染艾滋病毒的美国法警服务囚犯的住院情况

美国法警局(USMS)的囚犯人口是多种多样的，包括违反移民法的人，逃避逮捕的逃犯，医疗补助欺诈的肇事者，以及违反假释和缓刑的人。与州和地方监狱不同，USMS为囚犯提供了许多住宿选择。鉴于这些独特的特点，联邦囚犯的护理质量和随后的临床结果可能与州和地方囚犯不同。然而，对于艾滋病毒阳性的USMS囚犯的住院率和住院时间知之甚少。本研究的目的是检查在USMS监管的感染艾滋病毒的囚犯的住院情况。
