Paragraph
Paragraph text
The effect of imprisonment on the physical health of women is often a direct result of the poor conditions that they face, including overcrowding, poor sanitary facilities, lack of physical and mental activities and lack of appropriate health care. One of the primary barriers to addressing various health problems is the inability to access health-care services upon their re-entry into society, either through denial of access or inability to afford health-care insurance.
