Recent studies document the need for correctional facilities to improve transition planning, community linkages, and continuity of care, especially for inmates with serious health problems. ^[1]   In most cases, treatment regimens initiated in prison must be continued upon the release of the individual being treated, and stopping treatment before completion can pose serious risks to the individual and to public health. ^[2]   For example, the premature cessation of treatment for latent tuberculosis (TB) increases the chances that a patient will develop active TB disease. ^[3]   Those who are infected with HIV or who engage in risky behaviors such as drug use are also at particular risk if care is disrupted. ^[4]
