Mapping the Innovation in Correctional Health Care Service Delivery in New York City
This monograph, funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, profiles the patterns of the formerly incarcerated returning to New York City, with particular focus on New York City’s adoption of a community-based public health model for correctional health care. In a first for New York City, this project geo-mapped reentry databases to determine gaps between the post-release residences of individuals released from New York City Department of Corrections and the availability and accessibility of services, with a goal to use the findings to further the discussion about the components necessary to facilitate post-release utilization of health care services, including the role of access to providers.
