The study represents the inaugural thorough synthesis of evidence regarding the prevalence of these conditions among the prison population, presented through an umbrella review of meta-analysis. A comprehensive overview of the overall burden of disease among prisoners is notably limited, as much of the existing literature tends to concentrate on one or two specific health issues. Data were extracted to ascertain the prevalence of serious illness among inmates, uncovering levels of illness that frequently surpassed those found in the general population, along with notable gender disparities. The researchers documented a notable prevalence of mental health disorders, including major depression and other maladies. The initiative fosters beneficial communities by controlling disease reservoirs, enhancing the management of chronic conditions, and promoting rehabilitation and reintegration into society. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
