“The United States has experienced mass incarceration, and now 2 million people are held in federal prisons and correctional institutions across the country. 80,000 of those, or 4.8%, are diabetics1. Statistics from 1998 show that 11 million people were set free from correctional institutions. Many more pass through the system, such as diabetics experiencing hypoglycemic episodes on the roadways who are often mistaken for being intoxicated or on illegal drugs2.”
