Prisons and Tuberculosis● Nearly 10 million people imprisoned (4-6X more
transition through annually)● Highly dynamic and unpredictable movement
- Police detention- Compulsory drug detention centers- Jails (remand)- Prisons
● TB & HIV significantly concentrated in prisons- Overcrowding & poor nutrition- Increased “selection” of high risk persons entering
prisons (PWIDs, homeless, PWLHA)

Tuberculosis in Prisons● TB outbreaks reported in many prisons,
especially MDR-TB in FSU (but also in high income countries with low TB prevalence).
● Prison-related TB transmission is more likely to be drug-resistant or associated with HIV co-infection.
● A higher proportion of TB patients in prisons have MDR-strains than is the case in patients outside prison (incomplete treatment due to release and poor treatment standards).
WHO Europe, Prison health – HIV, drugs and tuberculosis, 2009

HIV Segregation and TB Outbreaks
● PLWHA are at increased risk for acquisition and progression to active TB
● Entry into a HIV segregation unit by a single active TB case results in a high probability of TB transmission and disease progression
● Crowding and poor ventilation results in increased transmissibility
● Inadequate screening, poor isolation procedures, substandard treatment and default on treatment post-release results in development of drug-resistant strains
6
Prisons, TB and HIV
● 50-80% of prison-related mortality related to TB (especially TB/HIV coinfection)
● The War on Drug Users has resulted in incredibly high prevalence of PWIDs / drug dependent persons in prisons (up to 50%) in some settings (Eastern Europe and SE Asia)
● Prisons are “high risk” work environments for staff, especially related to TB (some staff HIV+)
● Nearly all prisoners return to the community and amplify TB risk to family and the general public
7
Case Study: Malaysia● Middle income country: 102 TB cases/100,000● Prisoners: ~38,000● Mandatory HIV testing with segregation: 5-6%● Nearly all HIV+ prisoners meet criteria for opioid
dependence (methadone available)● No systematic TB screening procedures● See Poster WEPE467 (Al-Darraji et al)
- HIGH cross-sectional active TB prevalence using Gene Xpert plus culture for TB case finding
- Symptom-based screening fared poorly

Key Assumptions● Passive diagnosis is baseline simulation to
compare interventions against● Systematic reviews used to generate estimates
of intervention sensitivity among HIV-negatives and HIV-positives (CD4 stratification)
● All new screening interventions are annual, independent of HIV status
● HIV prevalence in prison ~5-6% (Malaysia)● Not any significant MDR-TB strains● Impact of 4 Screening Interventions

Potential Intervention Approachesto Prevent TB Transmission
● Symptom-based screening● CXR screening● Sputum AFB screening● Gene Xpert +/- culture
● Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (HIV+s? TST+s?)
● Routine HIV Testing and Provision of ART
● Increase Ventilation● UV light ● Specialty TB Prisons● Stop HIV segregation
Improve Screening for TB Methods
Decrease Host Susceptibility to TB Infection
Alter Prison Environment● Alternatives to
incarceration for PWIDs● OST for PWIDs

Isoniazid Preventive Therapy in Correctional Facilities
● 18 studies reviewed, including prisons (N=7) and jails (N=11)
● None included low or middle income countries (USA, Spain, Singapore)
● Completion rates markedly lower in jails than in prisons
● Requires ruling out active TB● Not examined in high prevalence setting of PWIDs
where HCV prevalence high (hepatoxicity)

Summary
● Good prisoner health IS good public health!● Approaches to increase detection and treatment
of TB in communities should be applied to prisons where the epidemic is concentrated
● Alternatives to reduce incarceration should be considered paramount to optimal TB control
● Will need to examine the impact of combination clinical TB prevention in real-world settings and apply them to High, Middle and Low Income settings
