Abstract
This article is based on research conducted in several prisons in North East England. It explores the effectiveness of prisons, and the wider criminal justice system, at meeting the healthcare needs of inmates as they leave prison, or transfer between prisons. In doing so, the article details policy context, areas of good practice and issues that still need to be addressed in relation to the creation of an integrated care pathway.
