elderly prisoners  

Definition(s)

  • The most common definition of an elderly inmate is someone aged 50 and older. The point at which someone becomes elderly has been set at 50 because research has identified a 10-year differential between the overall health of inmates and that of the general population. [Source: Encyclopedia of Prisons & Correctional Facilities; Elderly Prisoners]
