It highlights how structural inequities, limited patient autonomy due to incarceration, and constrained support systems complicate clinicians’ efforts to ensure safe transitions back to carceral facilities. The article emphasizes the legal and institutional barriers that reduce clinicians’ control over disposition decisions and the importance of preserving incarcerated patients’ autonomy within these constraints. It also discusses the difficulties in establishing trusting clinician-patient relationships and securing adequate post-discharge support for incarcerated individuals. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: commentary Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
