Description
The American prison system has many flaws, with healthcare being a main concern. Research must be conducted on inmates to ensure that they are receiving humane treatment by being provided with adequate healthcare. Prisoners in all parts of the country should be able to share and give their opinion regarding their own health. To investigate their own opinion, research must be conducted on the inmates themselves. Through anonymous polling, data will be collected and examined to determine an inmate’s own perception of health care. The test must include demographics to address another issue regarding racism in the criminal justice system. Lastly, the experiment must be aggregated throughout various parts of America to address the issue and to ensure it is a nationwide concern rather than statewide. Compelling evidence should be found to support the theory that poor healthcare increases recidivism rates.
