Being healthy is not just the absence of disease/illness. It is the complete well-being of physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. Our health is greatly affected by our environment and surroundings. Incarceration affects the health of an individual who was in prison as well as other family members. The outcomes of incarceration are unfortunate and devastating. In this time period, we can say that incarceration is definitely not disrupted across different races. There are more people behind the bars from minority groups than the majority group. There is a huge racial imbalance when it comes to incarceration. The majority of prisoners are either black or Latino. When we look deeper at this correlation there are many sociological factors that influence this racial imbalance.
