As Fathers and Felons: Explaining the Immediate and Enduring Effects of Incarceration on Major Depression Kristin Turney, University of California, Irvine Christopher Wildeman, Yale University Jason Schnittker, University of Pennsylvania Dramatic increases in the American imprisonment rate since the mid-1970s have important implications for the life chances of marginal men, including for their ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the influence that vitreous incarceration may exert on the presence of postoperative conjunctival blebs over sclerotomies after transconjunctival sutureless vitrectomy (TSV). Blebs are formed by incisional leakage due to incompetent closure. METHODS Experimental study in which 23-gauge TSV was performed in 146 cadaveric pig eyes. Once the vitrectomy was finished, triamcino...

INTRODUCTION Penile constriction devices often present significant challenges to urologic surgeons. Failure to remove such devices can lead to significant ischemia and loss of tissue. Patients often present after several days of ischemia and swelling have developed. AIM This article reviews previously published data on penile constriction devices and strategies for their removal. Additionally...

BACKGROUND Informed by recent studies demonstrating the central role of plasma HIV-1 RNA viral load (VL) on HIV transmission, interventions to employ HIV antiretroviral treatment as prevention (TasP) are underway. To optimize these efforts, evidence is needed to identify factors associated with both non-suppressed VL and HIV risk behaviours. Thus, we sought to assess the possible role played by...

Objectives. The transition to adulthood can be challenging, especially for children of incarcerated parents. Drawing on reentry and life-course scholarship, we argue that parental incarceration may adversely affect multiple life outcomes for children as they progress from adolescence into adulthood and that such effects may persist from early young adulthood into late young adulthood. Methods. ...

Comparative research contrasts the corporatist welfare states of Europe with the unregulated U.S. labor market to explain low rates of U.S. unemployment in the 1980s and 1990s. In contrast, this article argues that the U.S. state made a large and coercive intervention into the labor market through the expansion of the penal system. The impact of incarceration on unemployment has two conflicting...

Research finds that children who have experienced the incarceration of a parent exhibit higher levels of antisocial behavior. Yet there are reasons to question whether this association is in fact causal, and research that empirically pins down mechanisms that explain any observed association is in high demand. We attempt to better account for unobserved heterogeneity by using children with fath...

The heavy reliance on incarceration in the United States is unusual relative to U.S. history and relative to the use of incarceration in other nations. By now, the facts are common knowledge. We incarcerate our citizens at a rate that exceeds every other nation and that is multiple times (on the order of five to seven) the rates of other high-income countries. Moreover, since the mid-1970s, our...

This article addresses two basic questions. First, it examines whether incarceration has a lasting impact on health functioning. Second, because blacks are more likely than whites to be exposed to the negative effects of the penal systemFincluding fractured social bonds, reduced labor market prospects, and high levels of infectious diseaseFit considers whether the penal system contributes to ra...

As a result of changes in the epidemiology of the HIV epidemic and in criminal justice policies over the past 2 decades, HIV infection in the United States has become concentrated in prisons and jails. The widespread incarceration of persons with or at risk for HIV infection has important public health ramifications, including but not limited to the intraprison spread of the virus. Incarceratio...
