Not only do older prisoners require more attention, but they also need more medical services, welfare, treatment, and more. In prisons, “prisoners tend to experience accelerated aging, causing them to have health issues that usually happen to ages higher than they currently are, meaning they may be 55, but might be suffering from health issues of 65 year olds” (Kim, KiDuek). So because of accelerated aging, prisoners are aging faster than someone outside of prison. This cause more problem as…

It means that some of the prisoners will receive additional punishment and some not. Interesting issue is the voting right pretrial detainees.
