More than 40,000 people are detained in Australians prison each day. We know that people released from prison are at high risk of poor health and social outcomes, including drug-related harms.
This PhD research will generate the first-ever population-level patterns of morbidity, mortality and health service use among people discharged from Victorian prisons to inform healthcare and wider public health policy, locally, nationally and internationally.
