Prison Time Shortens Life Spans for Black Americans, But Not Whites HealthDay News, December 28, 2021. Also: https://consumer.healthday.com/12-28-prison-time-brings-shortened-life-spans-to-black-americans-but-not-whites-2656093204.html Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: HealthDay Keyword(s): Incarceration/Jail; Mortality; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. A stint behind bars can significantly shorten the life expectancy of Black Americans, but not their white counterparts, new research has found. Black Americans who have spent time in jail or prison are 65% more likely to die prematurely, even if it's been years since their incarceration, according to an analysis of data from a decades-long federal study. However, jail time did not appear to have any meaningful impact on the long-term health of white former inmates, researchers recently reported in the journal JAMA Network Open.
