Emotional, Social, and Physical Health Characteristics of Older Men in Prison.

Gallagher, Elaine M.

International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v31 n4 p251-65 1990

Surveyed 92 male inmates in 3 medium-security federal prisons in British Columbia, Canada. Compared with younger inmates, older men had more contacts with friends and family, more friends in prison, and experienced less stress. Aside from problems with vision and hearing, their physical health appeared no worse when compared to that of younger inmates. (Author/NB)
