The United Kingdom's prison system currently houses approximately 86,000 individuals, distributed across 118 prisons and nine immigration removal centers. These individuals possess some of the most intricate health and social care requirements within society. They exhibit elevated rates of cardiovascular disease, mental health disorders, substance misuse issues, and the prison environment can exacerbate the transmission of infectious diseases. Consequently, they necessitate comprehensive, multidisciplinary care that prioritizes the individual and treats them as patients rather than prisoners. As the field of prison medicine continues to evolve, this cutting-edge Oxford Specialist Handbook serves as an introductory guide to the discipline, offering a comprehensive and practical handbook for practitioners working within the prison estate. With a primary focus on the multidisciplinary care required to safeguard the health of individuals in custody, this new title brings together insights from general practitioners, psychiatrists, nurses, and occupational therapists, highlighting strategies for delivering optimal care within the confines of the detention setting.
