Young adults’ conceptions of health and well-being during reentry
BACKGROUND: In the United States, young adults (ages 18-25) represent 1 in 10 of the prison population and 1 in 5 of the jail population. They face significant physical and mental health challenges during their transition from incarceration back to community life. These challenges are compounded by the structural barriers of reentry, including challenges accessing housing, employment, and healthcare. While previous research has explored young adu…

How Ecological Systems Impact Black and Latine Youths' Health During Reentry After Confinement
Reentry after confinement is a critical juncture for youth, and the environmental contexts they return to post-release play a crucial role in shaping their health. This qualitative secondary analysis explores the perspectives of Black and Latine youth and their parents/caregivers on how specific microsystems influence youths' health during reentry. We completed two-staged thematic analysis of longitudinal semi-structured interviews with recently …
My Body, My Choice
Youth with commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) histories experience high rates of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, with few interventions targeting their needs. We therefore piloted an evidence-based sexual health education intervention tailored for CSE-impacted youth, My Body, My Choice (MBMC). MBMC was implemented in two rounds between March and October 2021 with a total of 37 youth who completed a baseline questionna…

Youth Justice at a Crossroads
The United States juvenile legal system changed substantially during the twenty-first century. Notable shifts occurred with progressive reform trends aimed to promote developmentally-aligned, trauma-informed, and equitable youth justice systems. Now, in an increasingly complex and polarized landscape, the future of progressive change for youth justice faces a crossroads, with some calling for transformation and others advocating a path of continu…
Perspectives of Black and Latinx youth on masculinity and health during community reentry after incarceration
Young Black and Latinx justice-involved males in the United States have unique, intersecting, and disproportionate health needs that often go unmet during reentry, the six-month period when youth return home after incarceration. Masculinity has been shown to affect various health outcomes among Black and Latinx males, who are disproportionately represented in the U.S. juvenile justice system. To better understand young Black and Latinx males' per…

Ten Urgent Priorities Based on Lessons Learned From More Than a Half Million Known Covid-19 Cases in US Prisons

Based on knowledge accumulated from the pandemic thus far, we have identified 10 pressing public health priorities for responding to COVID-19 in prisons: (1) accelerate population reduction coupled with community reentry support, (2) …

Eliminating Gaps in Medicaid Coverage During Reentry After Incarceration
This commentary explores the health and social challenges associated with gaps in Medicaid health insurance coverage for adults and youths exiting the US criminal justice system, and highlights some potential solutions. Because a high proportion of recently incarcerated people come from low-income backgrounds and experience a high burden of disease, the Medicaid program plays an important role in ensuring access to care for this population. Howev…
Barriers to Health Care for Latino Youths During Community Reentry After Incarceration

For this in-depth qualitative study, we conducted 69 semistructured interviews with 22 Latino youths and their parents at 1, 3, and 6 months after incarceration. We performed thematic analysis of interview transcripts, from which a preliminary conceptual model emerged describing barriers to care for Latino youths. We then conducted trajec…

Fierce Autonomy
Prior research has examined the high health care needs and vulnerabilities faced by survivors of commercial sexual exploitation (CSE), yet their perspectives are frequently absent. We sought to understand the narratives and views of individuals affected by CSE on their bodies, health, and motivations to seek health care treatment. Twenty-one girls and young women ages 15 to 19 years with self-identified histories of CSE participated in the study.…

The adolescent participants described their homes, schools, and neighborhoods as chaotic and unsafe. They expre…

Collaborative Responses to Commercial Sexual Exploitation as a Model of Smart Decarceration
Historically, youths who are affected by commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) in the United States have been implicated as perpetrators of crime and overrepresented in the juvenile justice system. As an intriguing example of the "smart decarceration" social work grand challenge, policy and practice initiatives have converged to decriminalize cisgender girls and young women experiencing CSE by reframing them as victims of exploitation rather than …
