Criminal Justice and Health Advisory Group

HPIO is facilitating a project, with guidance from a multi-sector advisory group, focused on the connections between the criminal justice system and health. The foundational policy brief for the project provides information on the:

  • Impacts of criminal justice involvement on health outcomes
  • Impacts of poor health on criminal justice involvement
  • Impacts of racism and other underlying factors on criminal justice and health outcomes (including poverty, employment, education, housing and neighborhood conditions, and family and community violence)
  • Actions state policymakers and other stakeholders can take to improve criminal justice and health outcomes in Ohio (i.e., policy options)
