AB  - Health  care  providers  are  increasingly  managing  the  health  of  older  persons  who  are  currently  or  recently  involved  in  the  criminal  justice  system.  These  interactions  occur  in  a  variety  of  clinical  arenas.  Many  correctional  systems  contract  with  community  clinics  to  provide  patients  in  their  custody  with  specialty  services,  such  as  cardiology,  neurology,  and  dialysis.  When  acute  care  is  required  that  extends  beyond  the  capacity  of  the  correctional  health  care  service  in  their  prison  or  jail,  patients  are  triaged  to  hospitals  with  prison/jail  health  care  contracts  or  to  the  nearest  appropriate  community  facility.  As  a  result,  people  who  are  currently  incarcerated  are  seen  daily  at  community  clinics,  specialty  clinics,  hospitals,  and  emergency  departments  around  the  country.  In  addition,  the  number  of  older  adults  who  are  arrested,  incarcerated,  and  released  has  increased  markedly  over  the  past  decades.  Consequently,  community  primary  care  providers  are  increasingly  providing  care  to  older  adults  who  have  been  arrested  for  the  first  time  and  to  older  adults  who  have  been  released  from  jail  or  prison  and  are  returning  to  the  community.
