Abstract
Russia has the world's second highest incarceration rate after the USA. These two countries have less than 7% of the world population, but they harbor approximately one-third of all prisoners (i). Although the issues of morbidity and mortality in its penitentiaries are of great consequence, there is little literature on prison health in Russia. The review of mortality and morbidity in Russian penitentiaries by Bobrik et al. fills this gap and produces a surprising conclusion: prisoners in Russia (who are mostly males) have a substantially lower risk of death than free-living Russian males.
