People in prison don't have access to health information—They don't have internet access, and often they're not even told what their diagnosis and treatments are. To survive and thrive, people in prison develop strategies to inform themselves and advocate for better health care. In the pages of Prison Health News, incarcerated writers share how they do this, offering a road map for our other readers. We also include carefully researched articles by health care providers on chronic illnesses, with vital information on screenings, tests, and treatments. PHN is the only regular publication of its kind. And we are the only resource that responds to health questions from people in prisons across the U.S., answering up to 100 letters per month. 

We may be their only source of health information.
