Health and Structural Racism in US Immigration Prisons
In the October 2023 issue of Health Affairs, Chanelle Diaz and coauthors
pen a commentary on the health impacts of structural racism within US
immigration prisons.
They argue that US immigration policy is a structural determinant of
health
,
and that "ending the practice of immigration imprisonment is the most
effective solution to mitigating its harms."
They document that within immigration prisons, provision of care is
fragmented, focused on acute care "often to the neglect of chronic
disease management and preventive care," and that imprisonment can make
healthy people sick and lead to a reduction in mental health.
Diaz and coauthors also note that immigration prisons can cause
spillover health harms onto those related to those who are detained, and
broader communities surrounding immigrant prisons.
The authors conclude by advocating for abolitionist policy solutions
which move toward the ending of immigrant imprisonment "as well as other
carceral technologies used in immigration enforcement," and calling for
increased research that further examines the health impacts of
immigration imprisonment.
